Ewan John SSA
Ewan John is an artist and educator living and working under the shadow of Cairnpapple Hill, Torphichen.
The central subject of Ewan’s painting practice focuses on the traces of Neolithic existence in the hills surrounding his home. Through experimentation with shape and form, he utilises raw, earthy materials to convey a tangible connection between a sense of place and the challenges facing both past and present existence.
