Stuart Bracewell: Fine Art's photostream

Artist Profile
Stuart is a Milan based Fine Artist whose paintings can be loosely situated within the traditions of COBRA, neo-expressionism and the neue wilden. His work rejects post-modernist concerns and explicitly calls for a re-engagement with the metanarrative of social justice and liberation.

Originally from North Wales, Stuart studied graphic design at City College in Manchester before going to complete a BA in Visual Art at the University of Salford, he was also an Erasmus Scholar in Fine Arts at the Universidad do Porto.

Initially Stuart’s art practise took him to such diverse locations as Amsterdam, Manchester and the mountains of Wales and he participated in residencies in the Islington Mill Gallery in Salford and at Artoll in Germany. However, tired of making empty gestures, in 2002 Stuart left the art world behind to volunteer in Sudan.

Since his return from Africa he has obtained his teaching qualifications from the University of Wales and taught in Mexico City for four years before moving to Milan in the Summer of 2008.
