‘SHELTER’, a new collection of drawings by Ian Chamberlain is part of a broader on-going body of work focusing on the themes of shelters, boundaries and frontiers. Taking reference from a broad range of architectural forms, these precious structures are imagined as a metaphor to highlight notions around isolation, boundaries and the need to rebuild.
The body of work focuses on the repetition of shape and form, taking influence from the photographic works of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Mark Ruwedel. This typological response highlights reoccurring shapes and designs and also starts to give the isolated forms a sense of community and cohesive grouping.
