Ian Pyper (England, 1955 -      )

"I was born in Liverpool in 1955. I have drawn for as long as I can remember. My current way of drawing arrived fully-formed in early 1989. Self-taught and working intuitively, my art is a form of pure meditation and spiritual contemplation.

My drawings have appeared in numerous exhibitions in Europe and the USA ; also in Raw Vision magazine and a number of small press outsider art publications in England and France. In the late 1990s, I became involved with Artability South-East on their one-to-one outreach project as a tutor and mentor, working with disabled artists. In early 1995 I moved south to Brighton in order to live close to the sea."

Ian Pyper worked as an accountant in the coal industry from 1976 to 1981 before taking up painting full-time in 1984.  His drawings have been variously described as "Paleolithique Moderne" and "Future Primitive".
