Love Art London

As artist's studios go, Ian Garlant’s is on the more unusual side. Kind of like a Norwegian version of Andy Goldsworthy, Garlant works in a unit at the bottom of the remote Hardanger Fjord in Norway. His sculptures are all deeply rooted in nature, incorporating all sorts of unusual materials like asphalt, gold leaf, fjord sand, Iron Ore, Sulphur Ore, Bitumen, Mica, silver wax, stone graphite, glass, dirt, gravel, boat varnish and various types of woods such as Norwegian Spruce, oak, & fir. And when he’s not working in his fjord-side studio, he’s usually to be found in caves, scavenging for material with which to make work. And no, we’re we not taking you to Norway’s freezing climes to learn about this stuff, we’re bringing a little bit of Norway to London instead. Ian's just opened a show of recent work at Andipa Gallery and we’ll be taking a special behind the scenes peek at his fascinating practice, discussing it with Head of Contemporary Art Claire Mander and Richard Cole, an expert in Scandinavian Philology (language, literature, alphabets and culture including runes to you and me). Rock on.
