Welcome to the playful world of Ian Rusth, where creative freedom awakens the viewer’s imagination and sense of discovery. Like a painterly storyteller, he invites us into unexpected and dreamlike experiences. In powerful colors, his figures shine against their backgrounds, often in harmony with touches of gilded tones.
Recurring details appear throughout his work: the red dog, rainbows, flying figures, and ladders. Could one of them be Ian himself? The interpretation is entirely up to the viewer. Even the frames are made by the artist, with moldings often traced back to various houses in Gothenburg – a rooting in the city’s history that becomes part of the artworks themselves.
The auction features 46 lots of oil paintings, graphic prints, and sculptures. A wide span of Ian’s creative years is represented, with works ranging from the 1970s to the present day. Step into the catalogue and enter Paradise!
