Fiona Stewart
- Work
- Biography
My practice centres around world-building and using the landscape as a theatrical set for narratives to unfold. Encompassing painting, assemblage, drawing and printmaking, I fabricate an imaginative impression of place that is observed from the real world.
Discarded things (manufactured and natural) are assembled into romantic landscapes within model box constructions. These are then drawn and painted from, as a way to comment on man-made waste and its’ position within our natural environments.
In a consumerist culture that values exploitation of the land, I hope my work re-awakens a sense of wonder, restoring connection to the natural world.
Fiona Stewart (born 1980) lives and works in the Scottish Highlands. She studied theatre design at Edinburgh College of Art (1998-2001) and the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (2002). She is an alumni painter on the Turps Art School Correspondence Course (2023/24). Fiona was shortlisted for the John Byrne Award (2023) and long-listed for the Beep Painting Biennial (2024). She has exhibited in London and throughout the UK, most recently at the Royal Scottish Academy and Detail Gallery, Edinburgh (2024). Currently she is a gallery artist showing work regularly with the Lido Stores Margate and the Lilford Gallery in Canterbury.
