Ian Monroe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew Ian Monroe (b. 1972, New York) is an American artist.
Raised in Washington, D.C. and currently resident in London, he graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2002. The main work he exhibited at his MA degree show, Canyon Recreated, was bought by Charles Saatchi. Monroe came to public attention in 2003 when this piece was featured in the opening exhibition at the new Saatchi Gallery.
Although Monroe's works are two dimensional three dimensional space plays a large role. The illusion of space is achieved by the use of perspective and the texture of the materials used, such as linoleum, carpet, veneer and sticky-backed plastic, placing his work somewhere between painting and sculpture.
