Ian Rawlinson is an interdisciplinary artist and writer. His work explores places of transition and aspects of change. These points of transformation are a recurring theme, giving voice to ideas of identity and connection. His recent work draws inspiration from the juncture of place and memory, using places as portals into physical and psychological spaces. 

Rawlinson studied at Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art, where he was encouraged to work with an expansive approach to making art, incorporating printmaking, drawing, construction, photography, writing, installation and filmmaking into his practise. He has continued to pursue this philosophy throughout his career, often making interlinking works which refine and develop an idea; drawing out its essence through variation and reconstruction. 

Ian Rawlinson lives and works in London. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK and internationally, and has been recognised with several awards. He has undertaken residencies and participated in international artist's workshops, including Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), Triangle Arts Workshop (New York), the Royal College of Art (London) and Saxa Loquunter Workshop (France). In 2024, he was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. 

His work is held in collections including RE Diploma Collection, Clare Hall (Cambridge), Cambridgeshire Collection, ArtsLink123, New Art Gallery Walsall, Sedgwick Group, Brown and Wood, Vosges, Peterborough Arts Council, Loughborough College, RCA and private collections in the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA.
