Euan G. Stewart | Revelation II, 2024
Linocut
Media Dimensions: 56 x 76 cm
Image Dimensions: 28 x 45 cm
Edition of 5
Framed/unframed
Euan specialises in drawing and relief printmaking. A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Brighton, he 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. Euan’s work explores the theme of identity by playing with medium, scale and sequence to produce results that can be either traditional or experimental in execution. The abstracted figure is a symbol of identity both unique to the individual and common to all, constantly moving between separation and communion. 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. The use of Japanese paper is central to the technique used to create the prints. The selection of this paper is not merely a vehicle for the ink but essential in creating the connection between the viewer and the print as an object.
