Ian Wilson-Pope - Fine Art 🎨 @ianwilson-pope.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

1. Whitby Abbey in watercolour with mixed media on rough w/c paper. 1/26 2. Acrylic and mixed acrylic 1/26 texture mediums of a Raven on canvas 40x40 inch. 3. Currently W.I.P. based on Lord Leighton's "Athlete wrestling a Python". See alt text for more info.

Interior of ruins of Whitby Abbey, with a moody sky, suggestive of the story of Count Dracula's landing in the cursed ship Demeter.

A raven sits to the centre right on a branch, with an abstract background consisting of textured acrylic mediums and pieces of cardboard with corrugated areas exposed. Very dark blacks, greys, blues and browns add a foreboding quality.

A man wrestling a python on a sandy rocky slope, with tufts of grasses poking through. A large area of trees behind separate him from a distant Greek temple. It is very late evening, but not yet dark, the sun is low but not yet behind the temple. Brooding clouds give an ominous sense to this mythic scene. Based on Frederick Leighton's classic bronze sculpture "Athlete wrestling with a Python" held in the Tate Britain.

A painting from 2023, my own version of "The Fallen Angel". Lucifer crouches defiantly on the edge of the abyss, wings still feathered, but shaping toward bat wings, marking his transformation into Satan. Paradise is lost, storm clouds and high mountains obscure it.
