Stephen Newton’s theoretical research into the creative process, often employing a psychoanalytic method of investigation, is very much of a piece with his practical work. Empirical investigation of subjective creative experience in Newton’s own painting over many years, has been translated into analytic theoretical texts in what the educationalist and art critic Mel Gooding has referred to as Newton’s ‘psycho-conceptual project’.

Stephen Newton’s latest book ART & RITUAL: A Painter’s Journey is published by Ziggurat Books, Paris (illustrations in colour) and has been described by its editor the New York critic and thinker Professor Donald Kuspit as ‘truly major’ and a ‘wonderful book’. Kuspit has described Newton’s paintings thus: ‘The remarkable intensity of Newton’s paint competes with the eerily static objects to unusually uncanny effect. The contradictoriness of Newton’s paintings is an astonishing triumph of expressionism – a genuine tour de force of personal vision and self-objectification, in objects that nonetheless speak of the loss of the self’.
