Artist Reviews:
"There's something about
E.L.Stewart's work that often
makes me feel like I'm looking
into a private realm,
voyeuristically standing on
the edge of an unfolding drama
or wandering into some
primeval corner of an urban
landscape...Bold, sometimes
aggressive, brushstrokes and
often intimate poses
challenge...

| Your Personal Biography |
After high school I went to a private design school, Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids Michigan, on scholarship majoring in Illustration along with Advertising and Graphic Design. After two years of being at the top of my class, I left school to do my own work. This was not an easy decision to make. Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, was poised to hire me upon graduation from Kendall. The human figure is prevalent in my paintings. ”Coupling and uncoupling” is how I used to half jokingly refer to my own work. Much of my past works have to do with relationships. People pairing off and love dissolving, often painfully. I paint to remind the viewer of feelings, emotions and love, that has grown cold, or long forgotten I paint people, although not typically portraits in the realistic physical sense. I paint real people, no glamour. I paint to reveal the persons on the inside with their life issues and their human conditions. This brings me to one of the most important activities in my artistic life. That is, I am truly interested in people and have talked with or had interviews with probably thousands over the years. I have listened to lost-love stories, hard times, successes, and murmurings. I have talked with women in restrooms, kids playing, men over coffee plus more intimate conversations than I can even recall. These are volatile subjects thrown onto my creative fires. I think about conversations and experiences I have had with people. After these ideas have time to steam and ultimately boil rapidly I may paint about it, through it or around it, or I might paint the essence of the experience. Sometimes I paint in a literal fashion, other times not. One of the things that I seek in my work is to express emotion, convey a passion that the viewer can see. I love when a painting can be looked at again and again. A pleasurable sensation. Lately, I have been painting using a bit more abstraction in my figure work, then I put more figure into the abstraction. This is used back and forth and the result is exciting to me. I am always trying something that is a stretch for me. If my work was to be put into a labeled description, I suppose it would be called Expressionistic. I don’t think much of labels. I paint because this is where I belong. |
