Ian Cross (b, Fairfax, VA) is an interdisciplinary artist who explores current approaches to cognitive studies, visual singularities and language acquisition. His works merge printmaking, painting, and drawing processes with reclaimed materials, past artworks, and hand-written letterforms. These reconstructed narratives examine the influences of cultural memory, perception, and active reading techniques that help us process and embrace alternate literacies.

 Ian Cross received his MFA in Printmaking and Drawing (2004) from Ohio State University. He continues to establish novel experimental investigations reframing the foundations of text as picture. He has participated in numerous exhibitions around the globe, including the US, China, Canada, South America, and Eastern Europe. His works are held in museums, corporate and private collections.
