Our music, “Twin Souls” with it’s adopted visual treatment binds together both the striking and the subtle that characterise Gary’s work. We are reminded how coexistence struggles yet survives in a contradictory controversial modern world. A depiction where the vast and the magnificent may dwarf us from the skyline but where the patient and the resourceful may yet prosper in the light. The composition of this brief film is a tribute to the artist’s skill.

In this brief appraisal we have endeavoured to capture the essence of a rare artistic personality. One who can effortlessly transport us, with great skill and versatility, from a seascape of billowing cumulus, threatening distant gathering storms, to Turner style brush strokes of mellow light and reflective hues. To complete the journey we, with a medley of electric guitars, breath drama and tension into these compositions which then ebb away to the sound of the violin serenading until the flamenco guitar distills an enduring calm.

With almost photographic accuracy Ian’s treatment of still life is also carefully tempered by glimpses of light, subtle reflection or glances of shadow, all entirely the hallmark of an artist well and truly at the very pinnacle of his craft.
