After graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1985, Steven Lindsay had a successful career in the music industry before returning to his first love, painting in 2010. Lime Tree Gallery has represented Steven since 2010 in both Bristol and Long Melford and in art fairs across the UK, New York City, Hong Kong, Stockholm and Singapore.
Estelle Lovatt, the art critic featured on the New Radio 2 Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman described his work as
“like revisiting Vermeer in the Dutch Golden Age of painterly skill against the Colour Field of Rothko, all intertwined with an aesthetic twist of contemporary, complex-simplicity. Lindsay using his paintbrush eloquently, capturing painterly conversations between the art history giants of a bygone age and a bygone art.”
Prizes include:
2010 short-listed for ’The Aspect prize’, Scotland’s most prestigious painting award.
Collections: Walter Scott & Partners, Edinburgh and private collections throughout the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Singapore.
