Artist Ewan Johnston and Students of City of Wolverhampton College
Begin As You Mean To Go On (2026)
Capturing a moment of creative becoming, Art and Design students from Wolverhampton City College came together across three sessions with Wolverhampton artist Ewan Johnston, exploring who they are through mark-making and material. Using paint, charcoal and pencil, they were free to experiment, follow instinct, and let ideas take shape.
The resulting life-size portraits move between realism and imagination. Each one tells a personal story of identity, connection and self-expression. Trusting creativity to lead the way, these works speak with confidence, curiosity and the courage to begin.
