Stephen Newton (born 1948) is a British artist. The art critic Mel Gooding described Newton's painting as a “psycho-conceptual project”.[1] They explore primitive manic states; isolation; disassociation; loss; fear; loneliness and supplication, themes containing sinister elements common to us all.

Through years of contemplation and engagement with painting and drawing, Newton has distilled that fusion between the physical and intellectual in the creative process – the essence being a reduction to primitive, almost primeval, images of immense power.
