Ian Wornast
Ian Wornast has a passion for London transport, its history and its developments. He notices and researches changes to structures around the city and creates graphic yet personal geographic mappings in response. Ian incorporates design and colour from TFL into complex patterns in which he shows the connections and links throughout London through his own lens.
Ian’s work has a strong and unique visual identity – recognisable instantly by its striking lines, patterns and logos. Yet, he is also prolific in his experimentation. Like urban developments, in his art he likes “things to be moving forward, not going back, to keep progressing”. His drawings encourage you to look closer: at the artwork and at the world around you.
Ian Wornast is also a member of ActionSpace’s staff team.
