Steven Dews | Prints and Fine Art

Described by Sotheby’s of London as "the best, there’s nobody else to touch him", Steven Dews is a man at the peak of his profession. Born in Yorkshire in 1949, Steven Dews’s meteoric rise to success from distinctly unpromising beginnings should be an inspiration to all young artists; he failed his Art “A” Level and then walked out of a Fine Arts Degree course after only a few weeks because of his disillusionment with the teaching methods, yet his work has now placed him at the pinnacle of the marine art world. Steven Dews’s love affair with art and the sea began at the age of 5, when he had a picture of a ship displayed on the wall at St John’s Infant School. He inherited his passion for ships and the sea from his grandfather, who was an Assistant Harbour Master in Hull. Steven Dews built up an astonishing portfolio for his first exhibition in 1976 and, on the exhibition’s first night, virtually his entire collection was sold. The following year he held an exhibition in San Francisco which also sold out to great critical acclaim and, since then, Steven Dews has continued exhibiting regularly at leading galleries in London and throughout the world. He is now commissioned for several years in advance. Today, Steven is enjoying the opportunity to sail his beloved yacht, `Wolfhound` in many different parts of the World and he is only producing 2 or 3 new paintings each year. The retail prices for a large painting now exceed US$400,000. His ability and attention to detail and the way he captures the sea means that he is one of the greatest marine artists of all time.
