A piece exploring male insecurity and male vulnerability. Based on my body shape at the time of painting, I have historically had a dislike for my body and would over-eat for comfort. If you look closely, you can see my first kidney transplant scar. --- About The Fistula collection An Art Exhibition exploring Kidney Failure created by Artist Steve Light AKA SLART. "I’m 39 and this is the second time I’ve had kidney failure. I was first diagnosed in 2003, it was a shock to me as I had no symptoms, but there was a slow decline until I had to have dialysis in 2009. Fortunately, I only had a year on dialysis and I got a call one fateful evening, 28th December 2010. A deceased donor provided me with the new kidney that I needed and I am eternally grateful to them. I was recovering well, the new kidney enabled me to take holidays abroad, reach my goal of running 5k and 10k charity races and I even started doing kung fu. Fast forward to 2021, I started feeling ill, out of breath and very fatigued. My transplanted kidney was failing and this time It hit me hard. I lost my appetite and my tastebuds went strange. I slept for 18 hours a day and I was bloated. December 2021, I was receiving dialysis again and after a couple of months, I started to feel like myself again. I started painting a series of paintings so that I could work through the emotional and physical turmoil I had experienced. My intention for this series is to educate and inspire others.“ Update: August 2022: "I received a kidney transplant from my brother on 22nd July 2022, he is my hero, I am forever grateful to him and we are both doing very well."

I am a figurative artist who reveals personal issues that affect many people through my art. Issues such as body image, anxiety, adoption trauma, kidney failure and crippling shyness. I enjoy using large canvases to make a large impact and also venturing into mural art. I have been told my style is unique and has something special about it. I certainly agree that it is my own unique style and I let my passion for drawing and painting come through naturally, rather than trying to apply a particular technique.
