I am a figurative expressionist at heart, who reveals and disarms human issues through my art. Some of my expressions include body image, anxiety, adoption trauma, kidney failure and crippling shyness. I enjoy using large canvases and outdoor spaces to make a big impact. I have been told my style is unique and has something special about it. I certainly agree that it is my own unique style and I let my passion for drawing and painting come through naturally, rather than trying to apply a particular technique. Being self-taught affords me this freedom.

Biography
Steven Light AKA SLART is a figurative expressionist artist working and living in Swindon, UK. His work mainly revolves around portraiture and figurative art. He has always loved drawing since early childhood and is drawn to creating people-centric art because he loves the diversity of people, their stories, problems, issues, baggage, quirks, and personalities.
He dropped out of his A-level Art class because of an unsupportive tutor who said, “You can’t draw on a large scale”. Since then, he rekindled his love for art and has painted multiple large-scale murals in his town, produced many works from his studio, and has been part of group exhibitions in the UK and Germany as well as 2 well-received UK solo exhibits. One of the solo exhibitions, Fistula, documented his journey in living with chronic kidney failure.

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol
