Contemporary Artist based in Essex and alias of Pop Artist Ian Salmon (www.iansalmonart.com).

After a career in the City it wasn’t until his mid 30’s that KiPS started creating again with his schoolboy passion. This soon developed into private commissions before branching out into selling prints as a side hustle. At the start of the pandemic KiPS took the plunge and went full time with his passion and has not looked back since. The KiPS alias was created as a means to produce the contemporary artwork he always wanted to create.

Whilst there are some distinguishable nuances in his Artwork, KiPS doesn’t like to be pigeon holed into a definitive style, preferring to keep things fresh and interesting as he ventures into different topics. He blends numerous styles whilst combining modern/traditional paint methods, utilising crushed glass, collage, resin with modern day street art influences. You will also find abstract expressionism with Pollock influences alongside pop culture nods to Hirst and Hockney. Most recently Botanical and Wildlife topics have been explored. 2022 saw KiPS begin to exhibit at events and sell originals in Galleries. You will have found KiPS exhibiting at numerous prestigious events across the UK such as Ideal Home Show, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival, Supercar Fest, Porsche events and many more.

Please do not hesitate to contact with wholesale or gallery enquiries plus any bespoke requirements or commissions you have in mind.
