The Continual Thread
Tuesday 25th – Sunday 30th October 2022
The Continual Thread is the first joint exhibition between brothers Euan and Alan Stewart since 2017. They wanted to re-examine their work to see if their individual practices had developed commonality in the intervening years. Although there appears no outward similarity in their work, they found a parallel buried in the roots of their individual ideas. It is here that the broader themes of identity and belonging emerged.
Euan's new linocut prints explore a crisis of collective and individual identity, picking at the fabric of individuality through experiments in form and composition to a state of anonymity. The contrast of weaving lines and negative space create an industrial rhythm and sense of movement that allows the viewer to project their own sense of self.
Alan is a painter whose work is about belonging, particularly what it is to have a strong sense of belonging. He paints the people who are rooted in the coastal communities of north Devon where he lives. Observing their traditions and annual celebrations he paints the community when at its most united and fascinating.
Alan and Euan were born in Glasgow and grew up in Prestwick on the south west coast of Scotland and both attended Edinburgh College of Art.
Alan’s exhibitions include The Royal Scottish Academy, The Royal Academy, Waterhouse and Dodd, and Beaux Arts Bath. He has pieces in public collections including the Ministry of Justice and Stirling Museum.
Euan has exhibited widely from The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition to the Awagami Print Exhibition in Japan. His work is held in collections including The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Wellcome Collection and The Fabriano Museum, Fabriano, Italy.
Tuesday 25th – Saturday 29th October 2022.
