Paint

Ian Ross is a San Francisco based artist, but his murals and style are recognizable instantly, around the world. From Tokyo to tiny towns in central Brazil, the intricate compositions reference forms from nature, colors rich in natural luster, complex texture. By working in a meditative, freestyle technique of applying paint to a wall or canvas with spray paint, latex, acrylic and rollers, Ross describes each work as a journey into the unknown. Often painting fast in front of an audience, each piece offers the viewer the opportunity to see hidden images and suggestive shapes that are indeed present in the minds eye of each new person. The scale of the artwork is often worth revisiting, to see how they change in different light, seasons and with your own mood.
