These three pieces presented above are part of a series of work by British IAN LAW, entitled at Laura Bartlett Gallery with Eddy Bailhache (RAM 2580), four unfinished paintings, and various non-ambient heating elements (10-14.02.2014). According to the artist, ‘they were attempts to reconcile the aforementioned quandary into objects, employing a life model to carry out the job they do on a regular basis, whilst placing myself in the position of image maker, using equipment I’d not previously used. Using simple directives, asking Eddie to respond and interact with these unfinished canvases, we made a series of images at the gallery during a period between shows which were casual set-ups; utilizing what was to hand as a way to recondition the way I was thinking about the space, and how to work with this for the exhibition. Both these instances are operating within clearly defined and established contracts between artist/photographer and model‘. – IAN LAW in conversation with MARTA RAVASI for Apt Diary

IAN LAW (b.1984) has developed a body of work that engages with his direct environment during the processes that underlie the cycle of producing, exhibiting and contextualising his works. The result often takes the form of objects, installations as well as writings that interact each other, come together and construct the sense.
