Ian Irvine: Visual Cocktails

Artist returns to his Warrington roots 50 years after attending art school in the town. An experienced artist who started his creative journey in Warrington 50 years ago will be returning to his roots with a new exhibition.

Ian Irvine was just 16 when he started a two-year foundation course at the former Warrington College of Art and Design back in 1974.

The images used are usually from past eras, and include illustrations, diagrams, covers from ‘pulp’ novels and images from movies – put together in a way that unites all the disparate elements.

Visual Cocktails is also dedicated to Ian’s brother David, who died last year and lived in Great Sankey for much of his life.
