Top 50 Newcastle Artists and their Featured Art

I’m a figurative painter and printmaker from Germany, currently living and working in the North East of England. An introvert by nature, the complexity of every-day life is both a miracle and challenge for me, which I seek to reflect upon in my work. Addressing human connection, melancholy, and the ‘uneasiness’ of the mind, my depictions of friends, strangers, or myself are not an actual image of the sitter, but a blend of my reaction towards them or myself, and anything my imagination likes to add. My work is both abstract and minimalist in style, combining techniques such as mono printing with traditional painting to illustrate the play between the conflicting forces we often feel in ourselves. The resulting figures are in a disturbing yet euphoric state between the conscious and subconscious, capturing the ambivalence of what it is to be a human.

Stuart Jones is an outdoor landscape painter living in Newcastle upon Tyne. Born in 1981, he gained an MA in Fine Art at Newcastle University in 2007 and a PGCE in Art Education at Northumbria University in 2008. Stuart regularly shows his work in national and regional exhibitions and is a founding member of the painting group Plein Air North East. Working 'en plein air' or 'in the open air' from life in the landscape is what drives Stuart’s work. His goal is to convey a sense of the light, mood and atmosphere when painting on location and his work is characterised as being impressionistic in style. He finds that seeing and recording directly from nature develops an immediacy and energy to his brushwork. Every mark is of the moment with each painting developed using the fat over lean process. Stuart is continually inspired by man's presence in the landscape, the different seasons and capturing a sense of the light.
