Ian Francis Season 1 Episode 0
Season 1 Episode 0 presents new paintings by British artist Ian Francis, exploring the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction in contemporary television. Combining abstraction, figuration, and layered mixed media on canvas and acrylic panels, Francis examines constructed worlds, virtual relationships, and shifting dimensions. Figures, props, and sets intermingle with expressive brushwork and vibrant washes, capturing both the spectacle and psychological nuance of televised narratives. The works invite viewers to consider the fragility of images and the ways media shapes perception.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
