2 Taking It All In 60 x 36 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas, Gallery Mat $3,800 No Ordinary Moment The work captures everyday moments and highlights the sublime beauty all around us. Many of the pieces explore the human element within the ever moving and changing cityscape. Each piece explores our modern world and how we interact with it. The images are a de-focused, high key interpretation of what we see everyday. The blurred motion imparts the energy of the moment from the simplicity being on an escalator, walking through a busy airport terminal, or entering the street from a subway. If we step out of the frame for a moment all the stress of a commute for example becomes a beautiful ballet. Each piece begins with a still frame capture from simple videos shot from a cell phone. The artist then paints the impression of these images with a very limited palette.

14 Artist Statement Bringing together a singular vision on paper, canvas, or in sculpture is an exhilarating feeling. Each creative feat from the simple drawing to the most complex painting is a stepping stone in an artist s life. These steps tell the artist s story of where the ve been and where they are, but most importantly where they are going. Please take some time and enjoy the steps I ve laid out before you. If you find one of the pieces speak to you, I hope you decide to make it part of your life s journey. Buying original art from the artist directly is an amazing experience that connects you to the piece and to the artist. I look forward sharing my vision with you. I started painting as a boy, completing my first piece at the age of nine. Since that time, I have traveled many roads. I have tried to lay down my brush easel believing I wanted a normal life. I am always drawn back though, an unwitting captive to the mistress of art. In truth I ve always hid away from my calling. Now, after so many attempts to leave it behind, I have stopped and recognized that I am an artist. Flooded with passion and persistent images I have no choice but make them a reality. I have a bachelors degree from Utah State University, there I studied Psychology and Communication. My only connection with the art department was being the undraped model. I learned a great deal about art observing those classes. So it is safe to say I acquired my skill au natural. Enjoy the work, and please send me your compliments, and if you must your criticism. Thank you, Ran Stewart
