About this artwork
'Soaring" shows ordinary people going about their day, in this case dancing in the street, but their shadows reveal something different — the 'shadow animal self' - animal shadows instead of human forms. Based on an Eastern European philosophy, it's a quiet nod to the idea that what’s beneath the surface, or what we don’t always see, can say more about us than how we present ourselves. The piece explores how instincts, feelings, or hidden parts of…
our personality can show up in unexpected ways.

Stephen McCann .... "I’m a self-taught artist living between the British seaside town of Margate and a mountain town in Spain. My work comes from a lifetime of curiosity, hard graft, and seeing the world up close — from doing a milk round in Yorkshire at 12, serving behind the bar in the rough pubs of Leeds and London’s East End, working in an active minefield, publishing fanzines in Leeds, creating a sportswear company, launching technology ventures, to raising a family. A playful streak runs through my work, bringing humour, surprise, and joy to ordinary moments. While observing and drawing people in streets, parks, and bars, I began exploring the “Shadow Animal Self,” imagining hidden impulses and instinctive natures — a fusion of the shadow self and the shadow animal. I turn everyday moments into something visual. My paintings explore colour, texture, and the quiet intensity of lived experience. Being untrained, my work is raw, honest, and unapologetically personal."
