IKIN ~a surrealist and a true
visionary artist~
With technology as his partner
combined with artistic
endevour, the improbable
worlds, portraits and thought
provoking images that are
between the real and the
unreal are grown.
I am creating the perfect wall
pieces for future fashionable
apartments, hotels and
businesses.
The past year I have been
exhibiting in-group
collaborations and solo
exhibits through many
galleries within Northbridge
and Perth City, selling many
works and receiving excellent
feedback from all who visited.
All my work is printed
professionaly with the latest
printers onto quality papers
or canvas.
The Premium Heavyweight Matte
Canvas with Archival Inks is a
lightly textured,
white-colored matte printing
material, which is imprinted
with archival, pigmented inks
to create the finest quality,
and longest-lasting, art. The
inks are UV-resistant and
produce very long-lasting,
brilliant, and well-saturated
images while the canvas
appropriately displays the
texture, color, and
three-dimensional depth of the
artist's vision. The canvas is
mountable and most suitable
for framing thereby creating a
vibrant and lasting work of
art that can be enjoyed for
generations to come. All
images are archival (100+
years of ...

~If you thought art was about flunky computer nerds creating digitaly altered images which can be recreated at the click of a computer mouse,artist Paul ikin will challenge your veiw~ Lyn DiCiero

for exhibition "Another Time Another Place"
31 Oct - 3 Nov @ KURB GALLERY
~Ikin's exhibition Another Time Another Place also leaves us wanting to see more. These digital images are full of colour and present a strong sense of the unusual. Ikin digitally manipulates his own photographs, prints them on canvas then works back into them with diluted ink so each mixed media work is an original. The images are fascinating and futuristic with an occasional touch of the funky. A personal favourite is Horseshoe Bridge which appears to have been transformed into an overflowing weir. Ikin has a good eye for composition and knows when to stop so there is room for the viewer's imagination to continue manipulating the image~
PAUL IKIN, Outside Sphere of Classification Digital Artist
Paul’s work occupies space in the main gallery. The work has never been exhibited before and is unique amongst its peers because of the use of canvas and the erasure of all trace of work, bar the finished product. By creating a work that can never be replicated Paul forges an intimacy with the audience by creating a moment that in itself cannot be replicated, this is the result of work only concerned with the visceral. Printed onto canvas that work has texture and warmth uncommon to digital art. This combination of factors lends the art of Paul Ikin the ability to elude definition. He has been creating these pictures for five years; this is the first time he's told anyone about them.
Written by Sven Davin
Paul Ikin was born with art within.His parents Neil & Jenny Ikin,were and still are signwriters.Paul was brought up surrounded by all forms of exibitions and the view to understand everyones opinion to the ever changing world of art.Never having the time to study art to get a degree he put his spare time into learning as much as he could by himself.
Loving photography and being imaginetive helped him push the common boundries of current works.Manipulating his photos on the computer and printing them out on canvas gave the perfect feel to his work.Without
a blink he would be painting the canvas until the piece was finished.
All of pauls work is one of a kind,never to be duplicated.
His mixed media view is wonderfull,an up and comming future exhibitionist.
This is some off pauls work of 2001-2002 so far,keep an eye out for this rising artist!
