Ian Kirkpatrick - HYPERGRAPHIC - Opens June 11th 2026
Posted by charles uzzell edwards on
Hypergraphic is a condition characterised by an intense desire to write or draw. Ian Kirkpatrick’s 2D and sculptural art is obsessively covered in symbols, infographics, emojis and logos. His modern-day ‘hieroglyphs’ are inspired by news, video games, cinema, comics and social media. He weaves these contemporary artefacts together into intricate designs that explore the mythologies of today’s image-saturated world.
British-Canadian artist Ian Kirkpatrick draws together symbols from many different sources and mixes them together to tell his own stories about the complexities of modern life. Global events, street signs and video games collide with art history and poetry in larger-than-life artworks that reflect Ian's search for meaning in a world of increasing uncertainty.
