Ian Rawlinson's recent work reflects inner worlds and changes in the psyche. Its various forms are rooted in psychological and alchemical descriptions of change. These points of transformation are a recurring theme throughout his work giving voice to ideas of identity, the desire for connection and other internal processes. Voids, shadows and abstracted forms appear in recent images and together with underlying themes of duality and conflict, form the creative direction of his work at present.

His influences and imagery stem from a variety of sources ranging from ideas evoked by words and their meanings to more expansive works incorporating constructed elements. His approach to art incorporates aspects of painting, printmaking, writing and installation.

Since 1985 Ian Rawlinson has lived and worked in London. He regularly exhibits his work in the UK and internationally. During this time he has also travelled and worked in Europe, the USA and Mexico.

His work is held in collections including the Sedgwick Group, Brown and Wood, Vosges, Peterborough Arts Council, Loughborough College, RCA and private collections in the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA.
