Struan Teague (Edinburgh, 1991) lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Struan Teague’s paintings form an abstract and poetic visual language, rooted in experience of dyslexia. A multi-sensory engagement is encouraged through the evident traces of touch and subtly shifting tones of natural pigment. Combinations of drawings and photographs offer an insight into Teague’s process, building intuitive and abstract visual structures out of close observation with everyday surroundings. The automatism of lines, scratches, gestures, small dabs of colour on textured ground, and off-centre compositions open up new spaces of possibility that resist critical dogmatism, conceptual rationalism, and language as mere communication.
