Stephen Lovatt’s paintings are characterized by meticulous observation, carefully manipulated effects of light, and smooth brushwork. He paints from life, composing enigmatic tableaux from curios collected over a lifetime. Some are natural, some are man-made, some ephemeral, others timeless. Although none is particularly rare or costly, they are all precious, deliberately chosen for their associations. They call to mind times, places, people, events, moments, and recurring themes in his work. Isolated players, they face each other across the stage, their relationships suggested but not confirmed.
Stephen Lovatt has a degree in Fine Art from Norwich School of Art, he has been a member of SGFA since 2003.
His work has been accepted by the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Miniature Painters and by the Royal West of England Academy. Recent shows include a solo show at The Glass Room in Bristol's Colston Hall and in a joint show at the Tobacco Factory, also in Bristol.
