Ian Whittlesea was born in 1967, studied painting at Chelsea College of Art and sculpture at the Royal College, and lives in London. His work is often concerned with words, and with the lives and work of other artists and writers.

It assumes many forms: from painstaking paintings that can take years to make, to ephemeral posters and transient projections.
