Kyle Stewart

I was born in London, Ontario, Canada in 1974. I grew up on a farm were my father operated his pottery studio. My mother and her family also include a long list of artists so somehow my life seemed inevitable.

Upon spending four years in Thunder Bay, ON, I gained a profound appreciation for nature and all its shapes, colours and complexities. This bond with nature strengthened while visiting a friend in Spain. I adopted an intense admiration for the work of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi. His exciting use of colours and organic forms offer me some of the most fantastic and imaginative interpretations of nature I have ever seen.

Over the years I have focused my attention on interpreting the human figure with the belief that through this subject could I best voice my creative energy. I now realize that great satisfaction can be gained when I spend as much time looking for the energy in the world around. Through its infinite combinations of shapes and colours, nature expresses itself in its own language. I try to interpret this on the canvas as best I can. With spontaneous movements of the brush, I feel I can most honestly convey the essence of its words.

My oil paintings are in tune with the varying landscapes...
