Information

Ian Polkey
b. 7 October 1953
Living in Cape Town, South Africa

Self-taught artist, utilising the techniques of the masters to learn the skill of oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolour painting. Body of work is extensive, dating from the 1980’s.

In 2002, completed a sculpture course with the New Age Bronze Foundry in Simonstown and created a series of small sculptures.

In 2003 added computer graphics to the mix of media used. The CG techniques include straight ‘painting’, using various software with a tablet and pen/airbrush and a mix of creative methods, such as: sketching; photography; morphing and fractal elements.

Current work is establishing the artist as an expressionist and symbolist.

In 2008 Polkey was accepted to the guest gallery of the Museum of Computer Art (MOCA)
