Stephen Cheeseman

Stephen is an artist and a painter of people in sport, combining human action and movement, with what aids them be the best at what they do. He loves observing an individual or group and secretly inventing a story based on their movement and inflections.  He works quickly on a coloured canvas in oil pastels, using references from sketchbooks and photographs. Although his paintings are realistic in nature, they are also slightly abstract; the intention is not to create a painting that looks like a photograph – instead he interprets the scene in the colours he thinks work best together, to create a vibrant, active painting, showing movement and effort. He exhibits locally and has won several awards for his work. When working in charcoal or pencil, he aims to create a painting without lines, using different techniques to achieve this, leaving the observer wondering how it was done.
He describes his demonstrations as enthusiastic, in that hope that afterwards, the viewer will be inspired to try something different.
