Stuart Croft

Stuart Croft (1970 – 14 March 2015) was a British artist and filmmaker. As an artist and a film maker, Stuart Croft utilized the aesthetics and linguistics of cinema and presented it in the context of a gallery. Writing and directing dialogue based narratives, Croft's films often weave together Hollywood styled characters in an endless cycle of story telling. Always shown on loop the films never have a beginning nor an end just an elliptical narrative that folds into itself. Croft studied at Newcastle Polytechnic, the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, and Chelsea College of Art in London, graduating with an MA in 1998. His work was shown widely in the UK, Europe and the U.S.
