Alan Stewart (b, Glasgow 1970) studied in Edinburgh and London, now lives in Essex.
My work is about belonging, particularly what it is to have a strong sense of belonging. I use combinations of tradition, myth, costume and family resemblances to acknowledge the people I paint.
I have previously exhibited in various solo, group and open exhibitions including The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Scottish Academy, Art Basel, Miami Art Basel, Waterhouse and Dodd London, Beaux Arts, BP Portrait Award, Threadneedle Prize, Noble Grossart and the John Moores Painting Prize.
