The No-Show captures a moment suspended between serenity and absence. Sunlight floods a quiet interior, illuminating a polished table where a small vase of flowers stands – a fragile gesture of anticipation. Beyond the tall window, the sea and sky merge in tranquil bands of turquoise and pale gold, their calmness contrasting with the stillness inside. The empty chair hints at a presence that was expected but never arrived, turning the scene into a meditation on time, longing, and solitude. With its precise geometry and soft luminosity, the painting recalls both the discipline of architectural composition and the emotional depth of memory. The No Show invites the viewer to inhabit its silence: to contemplate what has just happened – or what might still unfold.

Ewan Story

London-born, Ewan had a long career in advertising as an art director, a writer and a creative director before he decided to concentrate exclusively on his contemporary art practice several years ago. Ewan is the winner of several prestigious art prizes, the latest of which saw his work feature in 100 Emerging Artworks 2025, a global art award from the Arts to Hearts Project. He is also in line to win a prize as a Finalist/Honourable at the Almenara Art Prize, another international and widely recognised award. He is currently in the midst of a postgraduate MA in Fine Art at Falmouth University, and embracing new potential directions, collaborations and further possibilities to develop his practice.
