“He inhabits a dingy studio filled with half empty notebooks, scraps of paper covered in scribbled phrases and other random ephemera that he incorporates into his artwork,” a statement says. “These elements represent the often overlooked stuff of daily life , which is the root of Mr Fullarton’s inspiration. He sees beauty in the ways people manage to find joy and meaning in the minutiae.”
