This website shows the diverse range of work by Stephen Raw, an artist whose artwork is concerned with ‘language made visible’. Use the catalogue to see some of his recent paintings. Pieces such as his work for St Ann’s Hospice are commissions while others, such as ‘Book of Remembrance’ and ‘Sarcophagus/Altar’, are personal.

Stephen’s work ranges from commercial lettering for publishers and designers under his company name ‘Letterforms’, through to lettering in all sorts of media for a wide-ranging list of clients. Added to this is his experimental work, which has been exhibited widely, in which Stephen explores the abstraction of the imagery of letterforms themselves. Recognising this is a growing band of collectors who have been buying his work.

Visit Letterforms, a complete sub-site containing more that 350 examples of Stephen‘s lettering.

Raw’s unique achievement is making unexpected, compelling harmonies between the thing said and the saying.
