The Dark Illustrations of Artist Ruben Ireland

In between stark and stoic portraits, lies a world of disproportionate bodies, curiously baron, atmospheric landscapes. Exploring a place between fragility and courage, hope and despair, serenity and quiet contemplation. Girls tend to birds with eyes covered or stare face-to-face with horned, blacked out animals. There is an acceptance and silent acknowledgement, a connection formed through solitude. Ruben Ireland’s tools include ink, acrylic, watercolour, weathered papers, photography and a worn-out Macbook with a Wacom tablet. ~ ruben ireland
