Ian Durkin
Visual Artist
Ian Durkin is a conceptual artist whose work merges surrealism, color theory, and visual abstraction. By distorting everyday scenes, he challenges our understanding of space, form, and human behavior. His vibrant color palettes and intriguing compositions invite viewers into a world where the familiar becomes strange, and human figures interact in unexpected, often impossible ways. Incorporating AI-driven techniques into his practice, Durkin pushes creative boundaries, using technology to further explore the fluidity of identity and space.
Durkin presents characters that contort, fuse with their environment, or obscure their identities. The exaggerated postures and playful settings create visual tension, inviting the viewer to question physical space and social conventions. These images encapsulate Durkin’s exploration of absurdity and order, blurring boundaries between the real and surreal. Through bold colors and disjointed physicality, he transforms everyday scenes into dreamlike worlds where reality becomes fluid and ambiguous.
