Stuart Sims

Stuart specialises in quirky and very real depictions in oil. Sometimes the subject is quirky, sometimes the composition is. They are ALWAYS delightful and precise.

Stuart has realism conquered. He works in oils and presents very detailed and real work. He prefers slightly off-beat subject matter that tends toward the Pop Art end of the spectrum (but not quite). His background is in teaching art and he works as a draughtsman. Stuart's two passions are photography and painting and he uses the former to develop the detail and finesse in his art. "Oil allows me to go back and work in to the painting as well as build up layers to produce detail and tone. 

Stuart has found his niche! He is fascinated with the American photo-realist movement of the sixties and seventies along with the work of Australian artist Steve Harris.
