Ian Healy

이안 힐리(Ian Healy, 아일랜드 코크 출생, 에든버러 거주·작업)는 회화적 제스처가 지닌 고유한 에너지를 탐구하는 화가이다. 크로퍼드 예술·디자인 대학(Crawford College of Art & Design)에서 수학한 그는 1990년대부터 얼굴, 사물, 혹은 모호한 형태 등 서사보다 ‘그려진 모티프’의 존재감에 집중하는 작업을 전개해왔다.

힐리는 친숙한 것이 낯설고 불안하거나 유머러스한 것으로 전환되는 순간을 포착하고자 한다. 종종 실용적인 제목을 갖는 그의 작품들은 즉각적인 감각을 중시하며, 색과 빛, 붓질의 부드러움 혹은 거침이 이야기가 아닌 분위기를 만들어낸다. 최근 몇 년 동안 그는 자신의 가족을 작품 속에 적극적으로 등장시키며, 이 친밀함에서 새로운 진정성을 발견하는 한편 지속적으로 미술사적 참고를 작업에 반영하고 있다.
