Creature Comforts is a bold new series by Glasgow based artist Stewart Swan. Swan’s distinctive mix of playfulness and unease has earned growing recognition in recent years.
Known for his bright yet unsettling imagery, Swan continues to blur the line between the familiar and the uncanny in this striking set of six portrait paintings. Each work features a human-animal hybrid, not as disguise but as reflection, revealing the primal instincts, desires and raw emotion that simmer beneath the surface of the civilised self.
With Creature Comforts, Swan invites us to confront the tension between who we are and what we suppress, offering a vivid, mischievous, and quietly profound look at the creature within.
