Jack Stewart
Hi there, I'm Jack! I am a Canadian artist out of Toronto, Ontario, 30 years young, and even though you didn't ask, I love my wife more than my motorcyle (but don't tell my bike that).
During the day, I design a lot of licensed apparel that you might very well be wearing right now! And by night, I waste the paper in my sketchbook, and the canvas on all my strechers trying to make something you'll want to hang on your walls rather than in your closet. And sometimes, just sometimes, the stars align, my prayers are heard, the offering is accepted, and BAM! I feel like I've managed to make something that will capture the attention of anyone who passes by. And that's my dream. To put things in this world that mesmerize and capativate. That give people something to get lost in for a little while; stimulating their mind, their emotions, and maybe even their imagination.
I primarly work with acrylics and acrylic mediums on fabric and wood canvas. But I also like to mix it up with a little spray paint from time to time, even mixing it into my acrylic works when the desire overtakes me, (and it overtakes me a lot). In the digi-sphere, I mess around with everything from digital painting, vector illustrations, typography, 3D rendering and even photo manipulation. For years, I've been trying to find a balance between improving my skills in physical art and my desire to learn more digital techniques. Staying consistently in one lane for too long has never been my m.o. 'Cause I love learning about the things I enjoy, and I enjoy a lot of things. But that's just my style, and this is my art.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I explore the human condition and life itself through the use of vivid colours and alluring texture. Not abstract, not realism, my works fall somewhere between the physical and the fantastical. We rarely see the world in the bright hues that our eyes and brains are capable of comprehending. So, like a state of expanded consciousness, a hallucination, or the opening of a third-eye, I strive to make fantasy out of the normal, overlaying the mundane with the whimsical.

A golden moon hangs in a crimson sky. It stands still in the sky, for it sees a gem glistening atop the rock below. The geisha, draped in red, with threads as golden as the moon, woven into flowers. A faithful encounter, a crossing of paths, on one lonely night.
