Ian Black's chosen theme is that of landscape, though he does not record it so much as use it as a point of departure for his visual preoccupations. He is most interested in rhythms of the land, in its interlocking shapes of escarpment, headland and seashore. He often uses collage material in conjunction with oil and acrylic paint.
