Solitary Journeys

Solitary Journeys

Ruben Ireland is a UK based graphic artist and illustrator that produces images that are haunting and omber, with faces and bodies that at first glance seem normal but upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be altogether out of kilter with the standard proportions of a Human figure. His work often features solitary women, quietly imposing animals and minimalistic environments, conveying a sense of inner peace, curiosity and understanding whilst exploring a range of subjects surrounding life, death, love, loss, fear and serenity. His tools include ink, acrylic, weathered papers, foods, photography and Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Since graduating from Middlesex University in 2010 he has worked for a range of clients producing album art, t-shirt designs, digital media, limited edition homewards and editorial illustrations. Ruben has also shown work in galleries in San Francisco, London, Warsaw, Stuttgart and Berlin, with more on the way.
