Artist Profile Iain Cheesman
A long-time favourite at The Vivian, Iain’s work is boldly colourful, carefully hand-crafted, and quirkily humorous – but also intensely empathetic and gentle. In this short profile of the artist, Iain explains his background, his thought process around the work Signs of Earlier, 2018 and his love of poetry and words. Iain’s first book of published poems, ‘Boom!’ is available from The Vivian. EXODUS is on now until March 18. (It’s free!) thevivian.co.nz
Idiots - Iain Cheesman
Iain Cheesman has made a name for himself as an artist with his quirky, small-scale, and often very funny plastic sculptures. So The Vivian commissioned him to do a somewhat larger-scale work in steel. What we didn't expect was...this! BUT WE LOVE IT!
