Artist Bio
Stephen Howard is a Canterbury-based painter whose luminous landscapes explore the interplay between perception, memory, and movement. Working primarily in oil on board, Howard renders abstracted environments that offer a heightened experience of place shaped by the shifting presence of light and the slow unfolding of time.
Central to Howard’s practice is an intuitive understanding of light as both subject and medium. His distinctive use of colour and tone produces an atmospheric radiance that seems to animate the surface from within. Trees bend gently, edges shimmer, and light in motion softens forms. These gestures evoke the subtle rhythms of wind, weather, and the emotional currents of lived experience.
