Description:
I’m Ian Parmiter, also known as Lord Sonic. My journey as an artist blends sculpting and painting, drawn from my lived experiences. I was one quarter of the punk band Emptifish, where I learned about energy, intention, and visual rhythm. Art has become both a creative outlet and a way to navigate my Parkinson’s diagnosis, which I see as a gift that gives me clarity. It allows me to transform memory and storytelling into emotive, layered work.

I create pieces inspired by my daily interactions, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and introspection. The result is a body of work featuring jarring angles and misaligned elements, reflecting my being. Each day is very different, informing a new piece of work, a revised version of myself, a new conversation.

As an antiques dealer on Albert Road, I’m surrounded by objects rich in history, which inform my art. It’s a practice deeply rooted in place and memory. Art offers me the chance to share this world with others—I look forward to welcoming you into mine.
