Ivan Smith

Ivan Smith (b.1966) is a Cape Town based artist and designer whose work spans across mediums, currently with a emphasis on digital drawing deeply influenced by the vibrant aesthetics of Pop Art.
After studying Art and Design with a focus on Textile design at the Pretoria University of Technology’s Art School, he started his career in the fashion and textile industry as a knitwear designer. In 2020, after decades in the field, he transitioned to practicing as full-time self-taught digital artist.

“I refer to myself as a traditional artist, but since 2020 my art supplies have become digital. My graphic pop art pieces are hand drawn digitally, using an Apple pencil working on a iPad in a digital art app, Procreate.”

These signed and numbered editions are printed on high quality archival and acid free 230-gram 410 mm x 410 mm paper that conforms to ISO9706 standards of archivability.

These are also available as a Dibond mount at 1000 x 1000mm which showcases the rich colours and the incredible detailing.

Ivan’s limited-edition prints may be requested in other sizes and on other surfaces.
