ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This mixed media print is based on a recent photograph of a Desert or Arizon Ash in Kernville, CA, from my friend Luke. Having gotten used to printing stretches of water recently for this latest paid commission, and my new Coves, I found tackling this one less tricky. It was also a nice challenge working in different blocks down through the composition. The tricky bit was the tree - albeit very enjoyable & playful masking it out in 'negative' with masking fluid, and it seems apt for a tree on its last legs. There was then a final flourish for this magnificent sentinel, adding the two corvids sitting on its branches using a fine pen [see if you can spot them!].

Stewart has just won the Creativepool Artist of 2024, & is considered the foremost gellprint monoprinter in the UK. He was also selected for the 16th Graphica Creativa Print Triennale where the Jyväskylä Art Museum acquired his work from the exhibition. He also has art in the V&A Museum print collection. He has now been selected for The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair for the 6th consecutive time, featuring in co-founder Jack Bullen's top 10 picks from the 2022 Fair. He also has had recent appearances at both the RA Summer Show & the National Original Print Show, where he won the Great Art Prize at the latter in 2018 for his screenprint, ‘Alcala’. He is continuing onwards with his Tree Portraits series from his Dartmouth studio, which started over 5 years ago in London, before his departure to Devon in late 2020. Initially inspired by the street trees of my neighbourhood (he printed over 100 of these at home in the space of 6 months during the first lockdown.), these moved outwards to the parks and the wilds nearby, quickly becoming a conversation about our lack of connectivity with the natural world. There are now well over 350 monoprints in this collection. This suite of prints has been further informeded by starting a small-scale rewilding project in 2019 close to his Devon home. In the past 12 months Stewart has created large-scale Joshua Tree prints from the Mojave National Preserve that were destroyed by the Cima Dome wildfire of 2020; those of deciduous trees from protected forests local to him at Avon Valley Woods, the print giveaway for which funded the ongoing traditional husbandry/management by The Woodland Trust; and trees from the banks of the Danube in Slovakia, that were photographed for me by fellow artist Eva Boda. Further collaborations with other artists & photographers are ongoing. This series will continue to help raise awareness for protecting our environment, including through donating prints for various progressive conservation & rewilding fundraisers, both in the UK & USA. Stewart was previously a keyholder at East London Printmakers for over a decade, where he was Project Leader of the Mile End/Copperfield Road Studio Build for the move from London Fields/Warburton Road. During his time there he worked exclusively in screenprint, simultaneously working as a media professional in the City. After graduating in Fine Art at Farnham in 1994 he joined Artichoke Print Workshop, where he specialised in Photoetching.
