About Steven Outram RBA

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

I strive to paint a mood, a reality, which is beyond what we normally see. Even in familiar places, the shapes and effects in nature can be moving and mysterious. By recreating that experience I try to suggest a feeling of something about to unfold, hinting at a reality which lies beneath the surface.

Method of Working

I cue into nuances – maybe a cloud’s shape or a luminous window – and absorb what I see and feel. Sometimes I make quick notes, but often the experience is enough.

I work in oils and pastels. I’m very critical of the quality of my materials, and constantly experiment. Using brushes, knives, rags or fingers, I aim for a naturalistic interpretation to carry the mood of the painting, allowing the subject to dictate the process.

I see each painting as a challenge since I’m always refining shapes and tones, testing my own idea of perfection - always trying to take it to the limit.
