About Ian Hennessey
An artist and a cyclist, 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 is exhibiting in the 2010 Exeter Open Studios event and currently has work on show at the Unearth Studio in Exeter.
