Stuart Roper – Erwood Gallery

“Stuart sees the play of light as if refracted through a prism. He builds his compositions through gestural marks working in much the same way as the Impressionists, creating compositions that dance on the canvas.” Jenny Blyth Fine Art

Born in England and brought up in Scotland he studied design and illustration in Aberdeen, he is now based on the Welsh borders. He works in a variety of media including watercolour, gouache, acrylics and oils.

With work exhibited in a number of galleries throughout the UK and with paintings in private collections all over the world, he has a growing reputation that has attracted the attention of fine art buyers across the globe.
