Ian Hargreaves was born in Blackpool in 1957, but grew up in Bournemouth on the south coast of England. He studied at Bournemouth College of Art from 1974 - 1976. After graduating he travelled in Europe, painting portraits, landscapes and scenes of everyday life observed on his way around the continent. This experience greatly influenced his life and art.

The early 1980's saw Ian Hargreaves working in London and Palermo undertaking art commissions. Ian spent the next three-and-a-half years, in between London and Sicily, drawing portraits and painting local scenes. Now painting mainly in acrylic, Ian's work is based around every day scenes, moments in ordinary people's lives or the life of a town or city.

Ian is a member of The International Guild of Realism and his paintings are full of careful observations and details. He skilfully captures the realism of a situation.

Ian Hargreaves spent 23 years in Germany where he established a base and a strong following, with both solo and group exhibitions in many well-known German galleries. In 2008 he moved back to Poole, Dorset.

Ian has exhibited in the USA and across Europe. His work can be found in many private and public collections.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Ian Hargreaves has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Ian Hargreaves artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
