Ian Ledward was born in 1946. He studied Three Dimensional Design at Leeds College of Art and has taught at Jacob Kramer and Edinburgh Colleges of Art.

Ian is a member of the Society of Scottish Artists. Inspiration for his art work comes from both the natural and man made environment with a distinctive emphasis on the structure, pattern and poetry of light, colour and shape.

Ian Ledward’s art work is a combination of multi-media images, line drawings, mono-prints and collage and is produced with a range of techniques including photography, printing, acrylic painting and digital creation. It is both affordable and unique art work which frequently follows and develops themes.

Each distinctive piece from Ian Ledward is a unique creation that offers a slightly different comment on the subject. Ian’s art work is the result of a distinct graphic printing process. He takes photographs with a digital camera. The photographic image is then transferred onto a computer and Ian changes elements of the photograph to create an original piece of artwork. He then prints a copy and adds paint effects in acrylic, pen or pencil to achieve the final piece.

A recent media review of the annual Pittenweem Arts Festival commented: "If there was a top seller award at Pittenweem it would almost certainly go to multimedia artist Ian Ledward – his striking works, part painting, part digitally manipulated photograph, were besieged by red dots after just 24 hours on show.”

Ian Ledward’s art work is now in many private and public art collections worldwide.

In addition to Red Rag Modern Art Gallery Ian Ledward has exhibited at a number of other Modern Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Ian Ledward artist studio and like all Red Rag Scottish art and Modern art it can be shipped worldwide.
