Iain Cheesman is a UK born New Zealander, born in 1963.
Andrew Paul Wood writes about Iain : Iain is an artist who likes to push the boundaries between what is painting and what is sculpture, often seemingly caught at a point where it’s difficult to tell if they are being put together or taken apart, commenting on the social and political foibles of humankind. Cheesman likes to deliberately give his work the impression of having aimed too high and failed heroically, of something hastily thrown together by nihilistic slackers, and yet aesthetically and structurally robust enough to hold its own in the critically-charged white cube of the gallery space anywhere in the world
Iain has exhibited widely across New Zealand and his work can be found in many private and institutional collections.
