Ian Cooper

The Artist

Ian Cooper was born in Manchester in 1947 and and left school at the age of 14 though it was another year before he was able to get a job.

Ian had always loved art but it was a long wait, (until he was 33), before he entered the Manchester Polytechnic (now the Metropolitan University of Manchester) to do a Fine Arts Degree from 1982-5 .

After this, he taught art part time at Salford and Manchester Colleges for 3 years.

He now runs a small bricklaying business for 3 or 4 days a week, and spends the rest of his time painting. Ian confesses to loving the days when building work is rained off!

Ian has held several exhibitions, from a one man show in West Didsbury in 1986 and in the Holden Gallery at the Manchester Polytechnic also in that year.

He was artist in residence for 2 weeks at the former Fletcher Moss Art Gallery in Didsbury.

Apart from this his work has been shown in many mixed exhibitions at the Castlefield Gallery and other minor events.

Ian presently lives in Withington, Manchester 20, and can be contacted by:
