The last paintings Stuart made focussed on ways of making pictures–process–and images related to photography and studio based activity as ways to create 'companionship'. His work is been exhibited internationally.
Since stopping painting Stuart has been training towards working as a psychoanalyst. His research involves writing texts for popular films and setting up discussion groups with film screenings.
