Ian Brennan (born 1983) Hold your own 2023 Signed, titled and dated on back Oil on canvas Getekend, getiteld en gedateerd op de achterkant Olieverf op doek Signed, titled and dated on the back Oil on canvas 100 x 100 cm (39 3/8 x 39 3/8in) Footnotes: Ian Brennan believes he is the only artist who brings his training as a psychotherapist into the depth of his work. Each piece of my work contains many layers, much like the human psyche. My job as an artist is to explore each layer of my paintings as a part of myself. Only when I make peace with that part of myself can I move onto the next layer of a painting. I can't paint someone's shame without looking at my own shame (...) I don't just paint the human body, I paint the human feelings covered in flesh' There is an engaging open-ended narrative in Brennan's paintings that allows the viewer to be suspended in a dreamlike reality. No defined answers are offered, only the encouragement to enter a world within the piece and explore it with their own sensibility This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR AR An additional percentage will be charged to buyers for lots preceded by the AR symbol corresponding to artists' resale rights under the Copyright Regulations 2006.
