Blue Midnight

Piece description from the artist

Late night on a quiet residential street. I find such beauty in wonder in the interplay of light and shadow, the metallic shine of a classic car, lights from distant windows. With a new inner world where language is distorted, sounds and light overwhelming, and many things no longer make sense. A stolen moment of quiet wonder can feed a battered soul.

About Ian Shearer

Seattle, WA

Ian Shearer is an artist based in Seattle, Washington. He is a graduate of The Academy of Art University of San Francisco.

In 2018, Ian survived a massive stroke. Through intense therapy he was able to regain use of the right side of his body, however, his painting style and abilities were greatly changed. These changes have led him to “start over” as an artist.

Currently, Ian’s work focuses on urban landscapes. Using the city as a lens to explore themes of isolation, subjective reality, sensory experience, and memory; often finding beauty in the everyday moments of urban life. These moments intrigue him, especially as ordinary moments become extraordinary in the wake of disability.

Through his work, Ian is currently exploring the changes in his visual language and working on developing a dialogue of post-stroke experience. Adding another voice to a condition that affects hundreds of thousands and documenting the recovery process through mark-making.
