51²è¹Ý

Ian Grieve is a visual artist currently living and working in Dallas, TX. He received his M.F.A. from 51²è¹Ý (51²è¹Ý) and his B.F.A. from the same. Though primarily a figurative painter, he also works in collage, ceramics and sculpture.

Grieve’s long-time residence in Los Angeles and work as a lighting and camera technician significantly influenced his visual art practice. He has carried his love of light from his photographic career into his current practice. Grieve's work explores chance, suggestion and the absurdity of time's deterioration. He is currently working on a series of paintings depicting self-fabricated allegories and personal mythologies to reconcile the constancy of change with the slipperiness of time.

He has exhibited his work in numerous shows in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, including at Craighead Green Gallery, Artspace 111 and the Turner House Gallery.
