Steven A. Hart

Gallery 4% proudly presents The Pattern of a Person, a vibrant and deeply personal solo exhibition by Scottish artist Steven A. Hart. This collection of mixed media portraits explores the layered complexity of individual identity—where memory, emotion, and experience converge in richly detailed collaged compositions.

With decades of experience as an art educator and commissioned portrait artist, Hart brings a unique lens to the human face. Each artwork captures not only the likeness of its subject, but also the essence of who they are—through symbolic fragments, textures, and imagery that speak to their stories, passions, and lives beyond the surface.

In the artist’s own words:
“I try to capture my subjects in one special moment, while also using the background to show all the aspects of their life. My portraits are about more than just what we see—they’re about what makes someone who they are.”

Through vibrant layers and thoughtful composition, The Pattern of a Person invites viewers to look beyond the face and into the narrative tapestry woven behind every gaze.
