 
Stewart Michael Bruce merges painting and photography to create phantasmagoric images that capture the imagination. With the help of masterfully employed technological tools these digital photomontages take on a quality of serving as illustrations for real life. At the same time, with the integration of drawing, watercolors, charcoal, and handmade texts, the works retain "more of a fine art patina than a highly-digitized, glossy sheen". He avoids the use of filters, which make the work look more mechanic—like graphics rather than art. His subjects range from the political (the protest against the Iraq war) to the sentimental (childhood recollections), from cityscapes to deeply personal nostalgia. Bruce's works are consistently organic, seamlessly integrating his training in oil paintings, (digital) print media and batik, always with an eye for the ephemeral. Stewart Michael Bruce studied Art and Design at Great Yarmouth College and Norwich School of Art and Design. His work has been shown across Europe, Asia and the US, and has been published in national and international digital art magazines.
