Stuart Middleton is a visual artist working across a broad range of media. His process often begins with intuitively sourced objects, materials or images that guide the conceptual content of his work. He teases out points of interconnectivity between them, layering direct and metaphorical connotations. With a specific site in mind, the artist considers how the work might fracture or harmonize with the architecture of its display. Sometimes misusing conventions from other disciplines and often with a trace of humor, his works reveal the absurdity, cruelty, or latent beauty in the mundane.

Stuart Middleton (b. 1987 Crewe, UK) lives and works communally in West Wales. He received his BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Art, London in 2009 and graduated from HBK Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany in 2016. Middleton has had solo exhibitions at Clemetin Seedorf, Cologne; Chapter NY, New York; Carlos/Ishikawa, London; Clementin Seedorf, Cologne; Kunstlerhaus Graz; Tramway, Glasgow; and ICA London, among others. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Raven Row, London; Villa Imperiale, Pesaro; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Greene Naftali, New York; Museum MMK für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; Kunsthaus Glarus; and Camden Arts Centre, London; among others.
