Ione Parkin

Ione has spent the past twenty years as a professional artist painting images that reflect elements of the world that she has experienced. In the past decade she has focussed more on geological references, with other ideas coming from satellite pictures of the earth’s surface and microscopic detailed imagery of earth’s structural components.

On a visceral level, Ione’s paintings are a pleasure to the eye. Colour, lights and darks, shifts of space, small flecks of pigment; all flow across the picture surface, combining to give each painting its own energy. The build up of layers of textures sets off each part of the painting surface, providing contrast and teasing visual enquiry.

Since leaving Winchester School of Art in 1989, Ione has exhibited widely in galleries in the UK and abroad. Her highly successful 2010 exhibition ‘Fragments of Infinity’ at the Royal West of England Academy was her first solo exhibition for five years.
