Description

Autistic artist Ian, whose talent has always been exceptional, has also had to navigate the challenges of a severe stammer and high-functioning autism. In 2012, while serving as Executive Creative Director for Europe at one of the world’s top advertising agencies, Ian suffered a mental breakdown that left him homeless. Fortunately, with the support and compassion of the hospitality industry, Ian has returned to the global creative stage, where his unique vision continues to thrive. Collaborating with some of the world’s finest chefs and restaurateurs, Ian brings a fresh perspective, infusing his “I see things differently” ethos into every creation.
Title: Feed Your Brain
By: Autistic Ian

•    Dimensions: A1, presented in a white ash frame with glass.
•    Inspiration: The dynamic energy of London itself, with the map representing the brain’s complexity. This piece is about nourishing the mind, symbolizing bright neuroreceptors navigating through the intricacies of thought.
