THE ART OF COLLAGE: AN ARTIST’S STORY
Talk by Ian Irvine Monday 10th October 1-4pm I have been a regular tutor at the Guild for some years, and students often ask me about my own practice. This is an opportunity to talk and to present in depth the recent history of my work as an artist, explain the nature of my journey from art school, and how collage became the key to unlocking my potential. I will start by talking about the history of collage as a medium in the 20th century, followed by a brief talk on my reasons for using this medium and which artists influenced me most, especially Surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, and Pop Art in the 1960s and 70s. I will then talk about my own work, explaining the relationship between collage and printmaking, and how ‘found’ images form the basis of much of the prints and collages. After a break, there will be tables with a large selection of work – screenprints, etchings, monoprints, collages, exhibition catalogues etc. I will try to explain the process by which the prints are made. There will also be several sketchbooks showing ideas, scrapbooks on art etc. After around 15 minutes of the class looking at whatever interests them, I could answer questions on what they have seen.
