Just a feeling and not the truth Painting

Stuart Bush believes that art has the power to awaken something profound within us, to invite us into stillness, and to shift the way we see the world. For Stuart Bush, painting is more than just colour on canvas; it is an exploration of presence, perception, and the beauty that exists beyond the surface of things. Inspired by the ever-changing landscapes he captures through his walks with a camera, Stuart translates fleeting moments into striking compositions bursting with colour, movement, and emotion. His work, influenced by modernist masters like Howard Hodgkin, Francis Bacon, and Alex Katz, is a bold invitation to pause, to look beyond appearances, and to rediscover the magic hidden in plain sight. At the heart of his practice lies a powerful realisation: we are always searching, always moving toward the next thing—until we stop. In stillness, something profound happens. A quiet awareness arises. A deep sense of connection unfolds. Stuart’s paintings embody this paradox: full of energy yet steeped in tranquillity; they draw the viewer in, offering a moment of reflection, a breath of fresh air, a spark of awakening. Through his art, Stuart seeks to inspire—to remind us of our own magnificence and the extraordinary depth within everyday life. His work speaks to the universal human experience: our search for meaning, our desire for beauty, and the joy of simply being present. By engaging with his paintings, viewers are not just observing; they are participating in an unfolding moment of stillness, allowing themselves to slow down, look deeply, and reconnect with something timeless. Stuart’s work has been exhibited across the UK and the US, captivating collectors and galleries alike with its vibrant palette, thought-provoking themes, and unique ability to evoke a sense of wonder. His artistic journey is ever-evolving, yet always rooted in one simple truth: art has the power to transform, to uplift, and to awaken. So take a moment. Breathe it in. Let the colours and compositions stir something in you. Because in that moment of stillness, you just might find exactly what you’ve been looking for.
