Stuart Middleton
1987 , BritishStuart Middleton works in drawing, painting, sculpture, text and animation. His practice continuously raises questions about human nature and systematic behaviour.

Middleton’s work is conceptual, surreal, frightening, humorous, and powerfully resistant to artistic conventional classification. ...

By focusing on solo-presentations and working closely with each artist, Chapter NY helps realize tightly envisioned exhibitions that foster artistic exploration and growth.

The program includes artists working in site-specific installation, sculpture, ceramics, video, drawing, painting, and photography.
