Statement
| Statement | Euan is an emerging visual artist based in Irvine, Ayrshire. He has an experimental develop lead approach to his work using a range of multi-media platforms from printmaking, photography, and painting. He addresses architecture and the figurative form that reflects our aspects of our human condition and explores colour in many of his pieces, often working on small-scale detail work but also expands his repertoire by working on larger scale to convey images with simple brush strokes and abstractions in ephemeral conditions showing the boundaries between representation, reflections, and surfaces, with a sense of structure and form. His inspiration comes from contemporary printmaking and the resurgence of figurative art within Scotland. His background is in printmaking, and he graduated from the University of the West of Scotland, Ayr in July 2024 with a BA (Hons) Degree in New Media Art. He is also a member of many art collectives Glasgow Print Studio, Open Studios Ayrshire, Troon Art Club, Scottish Artist union, Society of Scottish Artists, Ayr Sketch Club, Paisley Art Institute and recently became a member of Visual Arts Scotland.
