Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Ian Wallace is internationally recognized for his juxtapositions of monochrome painting and documentary photography. Wallace began documenting urban scenes in his photographic work in late 1969, influenced by the photoconceptual sensibility of that time, which saw the city as a source of resonant images derived from both living events and everyday objects. Since then, the forces of globalization have transformed the city in so many ways, in the mix of people and the transformation that continues to take place in their social order, and the way in which they experience the city and themselves. The subject of the street has recurred throughout Wallace's oeuvre, such as his New York series in 2001 and the LA series from 2002. He stated that "the image of the urban intersection and crosswalk remains a key theme in my work.....The street, and more precisely, the stage of the sidewalk on which the pedestrians are poised to cross, is both a metaphor for reality in general and the location of specific experiences of the modern city."
