Inverness-born Iain Holman worked in the advertising and design industry and ran his own graphic design business before making a career change to work as an artist. In 2016, Iain graduated with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the Open College of the Arts and now exhibits in selected galleries throughout the UK. His work has also been on show in the Mall Galleries in London and in 2020 he won the Visual Art Open Award with his painting Indignant II. He currently lives and works from his home studio in Quothquan by Biggar.
Iain’s work is shaped by the enduring fascination with the human form, often portraying his subjects as contemplative lone figures. From his initial candid observations, he expands upon their pose and physicality in the studio, often using his models to recreate a narrative. Blending realism with abstraction, he works with oils on canvas to create multilayered surface colours that are both structured and immediate.
