Ian was a masterful curator and innovative gallery director presenting an outstanding exhibition programme over the years. He was filled with passion and dedication for his artists and always ready for a conversation.
I treasure the opportunities Ian gave me to talk about the oeuvre of several artists he represents.
Ian did not follow trends; he followed his vision and heart. It was a privilege to have met Ian since the inception of the gallery in 2011, and being in his inspirational company.
The latest exhibition ‘Underwater Stories’, of Portuguese artist Nuno Gil and 'Visions', a group exhibition of recent graduated is an account of Ian extraordinary approach to create meaningful artistic dialogues and bringing artists working in different genres together.
Ian, you will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with your family, gallery team and friends.
