1965 - Cronton near Liverpool

Ian Swift
After several years of experimentation where he devoted serious energy
into exploring the inconography of his own youth, Swift has developed a
truly unique slant on British Pop art and what POP means to him.
Through his ID as Swifty Typograffix, he has long maintained a global
following for his innovative escapades in design. He is an Apple Mac
pioneer and an unrepentant acoloyte of the post hip hop sampling
generation.
However, his own works have seen him tackle a more personal trajectory.
He likes to get hands on and messy. He effortlessly switches from hi-tech
to lo-fi and is a true believer in practical skills.
His small, exclusive runs of silkscreen prints, etchings and aquatints have
already attracted fans and buyers both locally and through the Art Car
Boot Sale in Brick Lane where he shared a stall with Scrawl Collective,
alongside Sir Peter Blake.
Swiftys artworks have turned up or been discovered in St Ives,
Shoreditch and on the roadside in Northern Italy.
His latest work maintains his Northern, down to earth outlook but is
inevitably phunky and humourous. It highlights the artists love of the
proces...
