My mission is to create art that inspires hope and happiness that will lead you to fulfil your dreams.
Ian (Clements) McCulloch was born in Toronto, Canada in the mid 1950s. He moved to the UK as a kid and grew up in Scotland. His father was an Architect and encouraged him to draw the environment around him. Sailing and the outdoor life were a major part of his upbringing. Throughout his life, Ian has always been fascinated by images and how the world is represented through the eyes of others.
The interest in abstract art was cultivated during his teenage years and further developed when he completed his Bachelor of Technology Education (Honours) Degree at the University of Glasgow. Afterwards, Ian became a Technology teacher in high school which involved not only woodwork projects and product design but also teaching graphics to students. This creative career has led him to become an abstract artist.
Nature and the maritime environment play a large part not only in his life but also in the abstract images he produces. He feels that the artistic exchange between the sea and the artist opens up many opportunities. The strive for consistency of style that is uniquely his own. Viewers continuously say they “can spot a Clements McCulloch work from across the room”. Establishing his own, unique, artistic voice is his primary goal. His method of producing art means he will never paint the same image twice. Every piece that he creates is truly an original, completed to his highest standards.
He has studied extensively and has been influenced by numerous contemporary artists such as John Beckley and David M Kessler
Ian has exhibited under his pen name of Clements McCulloch in local art fairs, galleries and exhibitions. His paintings have sold locally and online. Original and canvas framed prints are available on this website.
Ian (Clements) lives and works beside the sea and the countryside in Ayrshire, Scotland.
