Author Description

This first comprehensive monograph, which is designed by Dirk Stewen himself, brings together pieces from all of his groups of work. These include his well-known dark pictures in which unused photo paper is blacked-out with ink before being transformed into abstract compositions using a sewing machine and colourful confetti. The book also presents his no less important watercolours, which are inhabited by historical people or feature non-figurative shapes such as circles or other amorphous ensembles.
