About the Item

Chinese still life in yellow, red, blue and black. The tradition of art is continuous: past creations are tradition for today, and today's creation will be future traditions. Tradition is like a maze. If you don't know it intimately, once inside it, you won't be able to find your way out. Really knowing tradition allows you to enter and exit it at will. Studying tradition and nature are both important; I prefer to face nature while contemplating, choosing, and creating tradition. Ink is the most basic element with which a Chinese artist expresses feelings. The change of order that the ink shows in a painting is the materialization of change of order in the painter's mind. Its expression is form, but it obeys the mind. In my view, the reason substantive artists fascinate us is not only their painting skills, but also their works' everlasting vitality. Repetition of skillful touches by themselves can be lifeless, whereas vitality is a window on the liveliness of the mind and immortality of the soul. My artwork often ends in failure. But, fortunately, I often find certain "sparks" in my failed pieces. And it is the "sparks" that give me inspiration, courage, and hope, and enable me to keep on failing without fear of failure.

“Roses”, a classical still life of bold flowers beside apples and a broken vase
By David Stewart
Located in Edgartown, MA
A native of North Carolina, the United States, Stewart's first keen sense of art came through drawing classes that he attended as a child. "At this early age, I began to tap into the vein of classical drawing and painting which was to set the foundation for a life of art later." Stewart received a degree in Art History and Anthropology from the University of Tennessee in 1974. A number of years of study at New York's Art Students League followed, beginning in 1978. His teachers included such notables as Robert Beverly Hale, Robert Phillips, Robert Maione...
