STEPHANIE REW Artists Curriculum Vitae
Artists Statement:
I strive to capture a moment of reflection within my paintings, using the model as a universal symbol that everyone can relate to, and I endeavour to put a heart and soul into my figures without the need for narrative.
I have been very influenced by the Old Masters style, technique and approach to oil painting, especially the work of Caravaggio and Raphael. Recently I have been looking at the society portraits of James McNeil Whistler and woodblock prints of the Japanese Ukiyo, and have become increasingly interested in pattern and design as well as depth and form, and have embarked on a series of works combining these attributes.
Born in Carlisle 1971 and raised in Edinburgh, I trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, Scotland and, and soon after graduating in 1994, won the Elizabeth Greenshield Award. Since then I have been exhibiting solo shows annually in London and Glasgow and have many paintings in collections throughout the UK as well as in USA, South Africa and Australia.
