STUART R O S S

530 West 25th Street, New York, NY

Stuart Ross grew up in an artistic family. His father, an illustrator, taught him how to draw, and Ross brought his father’s teachings into the classroom. His skill stuck out to his teachers even at an early age, and Ross knew at that point that he wanted to become an artist. Later on, Ross transitioned into graphic design, earning a Diploma of Arts in Graphic Art and Design. More recently, however, Ross has re-discovered his love and passion for painting, desiring a pivot toward analog creation in an increasingly digital world.

Ross is particularly adept at channeling emotion into portraiture, forging a connection between the viewer and his artwork. His use of oil paint adds a certain indescribable, ethereal quality to his canvases, which he describes as Impressionistic Realism. This name also derives from the inspiration he gains from the nineteenth century Realism and Impressionism movements as well as the stylized realism of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Ross currently lives in his home country, Australia, with his family, where in his new painting career he has already been recognized as a finalist in the Art Lovers Australia art prize. Ultimately, Ross’s work conveys a simple message, devoid of political meaning and rife with emotionality. He leans into the visual properties of his medium in order to ignite our inner feelings and emotions through mood, atmosphere, and beauty.

After a decades-long career in graphic design and printing, I felt a burning desire to create with my hands and let go of the constraints imposed by commercial work. My early paintings were hyperrealistic; using acrylic paint, I sought to reproduce a photograph with as much detail as possible. However, over time I felt the need to add something different, something instinctual that photography could not produce. That’s when I started using oils. Oils allowed me to paint more loosely, adding more texture, and abstraction to my work.

My primary focus is expressive portraits and human figures painted in a style I would best describe as impressionistic realism. I paint whatever catches my eye; be it a beautiful woman, an atmosphere, or a certain look. Regardless of the subject, I seek for my paintings to ignite feelings of intimacy and love, although it is sometimes difficult for me to put these emotions into words. Painting gives me much joy, a chance to look within and search for beauty within the chaos of today’s world.
