Dr Suits

Nathan Ingram, or pseudonymously Dr Suits, is a Christchurch-based artist and designer with backgrounds in fashion and urban art. After gaining attention for a range of post-quake street interventions, his work has been documented in multiple publications and he was a featured artist in the 2015 street art exhibition Spectrum.

 

Ingram continues to shift between spaces and modes of production, exploring diverse processes and materials, from drawing and painting, to printmaking and stitching, revealing an adventurous nature as a maker not beholden to tradition and whose output defies straight-forward categorisation.

 

Although his work spans figuration to abstraction, it is often grounded in graphic qualities of line, colour and texture, and importantly the influence of the urban environment as a space of transient presence and constant physical flux.
