Stewart Milne was born in Toronto in 1986 and has since settled in Hamilton, Ontario. He works with paint, music and poetry to convey what he calls “the obvious and accidental language of our experiences.” Largely self-taught in all aspects of his creative work, he has found a purpose for strong colours and shapes to dress the world on his canvases. Stewart uses people and the things that their homes and lives consist of to tell his dream-like stories. Part confessional part surreal. The freedom he takes with his work lands it in a relatable context where the subject is to be observed. Fellow artists like Piet Mondrian and Keith Haring have used similarly focused means of speaking to the observer.
Stewart’s work has been displayed in galleries in New York City, Toronto, and Hamilton.
