Ian Carpenter was born in Thailand in 1974. He grew up overseas experiencing multiple
cultures and their visual arts. When recollecting primary art influences from his early years,
Carpenter vividly remembers various colorful paintings from the Caribbean, Asia, South
America, and Europe.
In 2005, Carpenter returned to painting with a new-found respect and passion. Throughout the
years he grew to deeply appreciate modern painters like Paul Klee and Nicolas De Stael, art
collectives like the Fauves and The Society of Six, and various outsider artists like Joseph
Yoakum and Anna Zemankova. All of these influence what Carpenter does with paint and the
waiting surface. His paintings, with their playful use of color, can be viewed as either
lyrical abstractions or vague remembrances of dream world landscapes.
