LOCKDOWN JOURNAL: COVID-19.41 (Ian Pepper)
Another post from Ian Pepper focusing on his collage work.
Anyone who attended the ‘Feast of Beeston’ and ‘Welcome To My World’ exhibitions by Ian Pepper at BasementArtsProject will be familiar with an array of macabre characters such as Frankie Teabags and Edgar Allen Crow, and their distinct personalities.
If you did not get to see those exhibitions then here is a selection of recent collages by Ian Pepper in response to a world going into lockdown.

Ian Pepper is a multidisciplinary figurative artist inspired by New Scottish Painting, German Expressionism and Outsider Art. He is chiefly interested in exploring human relationships and the ways in which people gather together to form different cultural groups. Pepper works within artistic traditions to explore these themes, trying to create work which is rooted in realism but which is also sprinkled with a sense of mischief and fun.
Exhibitions include Love Arts Festival, The Light Leeds; Is/N’t, Delius Centre Bradford; From Sea to you / Del mar para ti, Poca Gallery Portugalete; Personal Reflections Exhibition, The Bowery Gallery Leeds
