The paintings of Angus McEwan are intriguingly eclectic.
Incorporating landscapes with still lifes and often making
reference to his travels abroad, McEwan's works have a touch of
surreality to them. A graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art,
Dundee, McEwan is a member
of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Water-colour.

"I try and put a bit of mystery in, giving my paintings a bit of a
twist" says McEwan, whose painting 'The Minister's Desk portrays the
belongings found in the study of a Scottish minister. Currently
exploring colour, McEwan is an admirer of the work of Scottish artist,
Alberto Morrocco and the Italian Surrealist, de Chirico. A recent
recipient of the Salvesen Art Scholarship, McEwan spent the award
travelling and working in China for ten weeks. The trip, feels McEwan,
"has offered further inspiration to his work as he continues to paint
something unusual that turns
truth on its head and makes people stop and ask 'what is this?"
