Steven Lindsay attended Glasgow School of Art, had a successful career in the music industry before returning to his first love, painting in 2010. 

Estelle Lovatt, the art critic featured on the New Radio 2 Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman described his work as

“like revisiting Vermeer in the Dutch Golden Age of painterly skill against the Colour Field of Rothko, all intertwined with an aesthetic twist of contemporary, complex-simplicity. Lindsay using his paintbrush eloquently, capturing painterly conversations between the art history giants of a bygone age and a bygone art.”
