Through drawing and printmaking Ian Chamberlain reinterprets man-made structures as monuments in the landscape. These structures are architectural metaphors of past and current technological achievements. He has had a long-standing fascination with technology and architectural forms especially the structures within industry, agriculture, science and the military. These have included Goonhilly Earth station, The Lovell Telescope, Cheshire Maunsell Sea Forts in the Thames estuary and the Acoustic Sound Mirrors on the South Kent Coast.
Chamberlain uses traditional processes to record these structures, the etchings become an extension of his drawing, allowing him to record these locations through the interlinking processes of Drawing and print. The work is a visual historical document and a record of places that he has visited.
Ian Chamberlain’ s prints and drawings are held in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Tate Modern, London; Bristol Museum; Royal West of England Academy, Bristol; Pallant House Gallery, Chichester; The University of Chichester collection; The Ashmolean, Oxford and Chippenham Museum.
Ian Chamberlain lives and works in Bristol, UK. In addition to his studio practice he is a researcher and Senior Lecturer in MA Fine Art Printmaking, UWE, Bristol, UK.
