Ian Hennessey

picture of 'chairman'

Ian Hennessey has been painting and drawing since the sixties. His earlier work was often three-dimensional and sometimes free-standing. Not much of the early large work survives. He had exhibitions in London and then in the West country in the 1970s.

For a long period he worked as a printer and started his own business. Art took a back seat, at least as far as exhibiting was concerned.

Now he has the freedom to concentrate on his work, and the result is a number of small drawings and paintings reflecting his feelings about the strangeness of life.

He exhibits at the Unearth Studio in Exeter.
