Euan G. Stewart

Euan is a printmaker whose anatomical studies explore our sense of self.

These new linocut prints are an emotional response to a crisis of collective and individual identity. They pick at the fabric of individuality through  experiments in form and composition to a state of anonymity, or universality. Inspired by the weaving process, the industrial rhythm of line and negative space create a sense of movement between these states and allow the viewer to project their own sense of self. The prints are contradictory in nature.  Blurred, duplicated and distorted but rendered with surgical focus. Anonymous yet relatable. Universal yet specific. Unsexed yet gendered.

A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Brighton, Euan has exhibited widely, from the RA Summer Exhibition to the Awagami Print Exhibition in Japan. His work is held in collections at the V & A, Fabriano Museum and the Wellcome Collection.
