    Client Work
    So many of us are looking for brands that show us a new way of being and doing. At Ikon, we’re lucky enough to work with clients who are already leading the way. So in this series, let us show you what you can do, by showing you what we can do (for you).

    Together, let’s design a new world.

    Earthy Excellence

    Muse
    Always searching for new sources of inspiration, we are currently loving the balance in Bobby Clark's geometric compositions, the figurative shapes in Caroline Walls' paintings and the ceramic creations of Milly Dent. All three artists have beautifully unique work, but we see a synergy via the use of tonality, texture and minimalistic forms.

    Muse
    The Golden Age Cinema is one of Ikon’s favourite neighbourhood haunts and what better excuse to go than when 'Le Mépris (Contempt)’ screens at their summer series 'Ciao Europa’?

    There must be some mistake

    Muse
    When malfunctions and mishaps inspire mixed media art.   "I recently came across photographs on an old hard drive that had been damaged by some kind of technical fault. The result was a set of pictures in which an unexpected mistake and its visual traces seemed to mean something. Using this haphazard little archive as a departure point, I have tried to piece together a series of discernible markers (both abstract and representative) that stand in for the activity that takes place in the studio, where things both do and do not make sense, and where the pressure of the former must ...
