Ian Tremewen
began showing his watercolors with Village Gallery in 1976 while
living on Maui. Now based in Australia, contemporary watercolourist
Ian Tremewen was born in Montreal. Much of his life has been
spent in the Caribbean and Hawaiian tropics. Ian's work reflects
the interest he feels for light, space and shadow working in
sculpture, contemporary glass and textiles.
His abstract interpretation of the amorphic shapes of nature,
coupled with his design and composition enable him to present
his work with a view that is distinctly his own. "As an
artist, I can experiment with many aspects and combinations.
I've always been fascinated by the psychedelic colours hidden
in rainforests. For me, these elements invite abstraction, where
a shape, along with colour and texture, defines an object."
Artist's Statement:
"There now appears to be a refreshing
openness emerging in the art world. I feel there is a freedom
to stretch and explore ideas and alternatives like never before
using mediums and concepts that are expanding the world of art
and design." Tremewen's viewpoint brings to his work both
strength and imagination, uncovering a vision of life and it's
images that we might otherwise miss.
