Provenance:
Canadian Fine Arts, Toronto
Notes:
Based in Bright’s Grove, Ontario, Ian Mclean’s work focuses on imagery of domestic comfort intended to lure the viewer into familiar environments both real or imagined, manipulating paint to create surfaces that are alluring, impulsive, seductive, and irrational. Mclean renders images that are at once irreverent and laden with serious subtext. In his depiction of highly groomed and domesticated environments, Mclean’s imagery suggests efforts to contain, control, or avoid circumstances of nature and the implied narratives reflect a deep-seated desire for comfort, beauty or distraction.
