At the start of the March 2020 lockdown, Ian Beck would walk his
greyhound Gracie through the early morning streets of Isleworth in
west London, revelling in the light and the silence that the
restrictions had brought. The familiar became charged with new
meaning, inspiring Ian to paint the scenes around him for their own
sake, something that he hadn't done since his student days in the
sixties. Suburban streets, trees, fences, shrubs and overgrown
alleyways - all are transformed in the quiet intensity of Ian's
lockdown paintings. He painted interiors too: the moon shining
through a bedroom window, objects on mantelpieces, the eeriness of
back gardens at dusk. As the year progressed, the crisp light of
spring gave way to the haze of summer and the gloom of autumn fogs.
The Light in Suburbia collects sixty of Ian's paintings from this
period: a remarkable record of his year spent trying to capture the
beauty of the unprepossessing everyday.
