Lee Stewart
Lee Stewart was born and raised in Kashechewan, a small remote reserve on James Bay, Northern Ontario, spent years in the Rideau Lakes region, and studied film and art history at Carleton University, in Ottawa.
He lived in Vancouver before returning to establish himself in Kingston. Stewart’s cultural influences are as vast as his lived experience, without hierarchy or elevated status.
As a self-taught artist, Stewart’s experimentation, innate curiosity, and openness continue to shape his evolving style.

Artist Statement:
I draw, paint, sculpt, carve and assemble art that attempts to imagine the future trajectory of art history. I am constantly looking backward as I run forward. Everything is a blur. All images have no hierarchy or elevated status. To me a Velazquez painting has just as much beauty and gravitas as a blurry VHS screenshot from an episode of Jerry Springer.

Rarely do such varied subjects come together in a studied and cohesive body of work, and yet Stewart manages to lend his signature ability to consume and distill disparate cultural forms, from classic films and art history to folklore and pop culture, and to imbue them with something akin to reverence.
