Artist Statement:
I see myself as an
impressionist; I use oil on
canvas as my medium and
utilize a wide range of subtle
colours to create in my
paintings a soft, sensitive
quality. My paintings are a
synthesis of portraits,
landscapes and street scenes
and, although subtle, often
carry a hint of social
commentary. My works can be
found In private collections
locally and abroad.
My philosophy leaves no room
for complacence.
Through my paintings, I intend
to continue to bring vital
features
Of Jamaican life, as I see it,
to the attention of my fellow
Jamaicans,
And the world at large.
As a young man, the artist
that influences me most was
George Rodney.

Excerpt from: The Sunday Gleaner: Arts Section “Gallery Goes Gong” by Kesi Asher—
Staff Reporter (October 23, 2005
“Reggae Tree" (2005), by Ewan McAnuff, on display at the National Gallery.
Competition in celebration of The Hon. Robert Nesta Marley's 60th Birthday Anniversary
The album covers demonstrated how Bob and other musicians affected the Rastafarian and
Jamaican Culture,” added Dacres. The presentation of the album covers (on loan from Tuff Gong studios) depicted the various stages in Bog’s Life-
the young angry radical Bob, through to the
spiritual icon and on to the thoughtful Marley.
Paintings that stood out were ‘Reggae Tree’ and ‘Time Will Tell’, a reflection of harsh social realities, paired with soothing words from Marley’s "Three Little Birds"

"Wash Day" by: Ewan McAnuff
“…Patrons who came to see Ewan McAnuff’s actual ‘Coconut Man’ which was reproduced on the invitation, were not disappointed as he, too, delivered practical illustrations of Jamaica, for example, in his ‘Wash Day’ and ‘Man and Dog’, a welcome change from his known landscapes…”
