Only fifteen months after his Goldsmiths MA show, he is confidently making work that serious art collectors on both sides of the Atlantic want to buy.

Typically, loads of galleries go to these things, which are held over the summer. They (galleries) all trawl around what is the new talent, so to speak. There were a few calls from other people and I arranged a studio visit. Lotta (Hammer) came by, saw my work and said, 'Well, I'm putting together a show in about month. If you can do something for it, that would be great.'" To Find more about Ian Monroe please visit us on http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/ian_monroe.htm
