Edgeworth Johnstone is an artist from North London, curator and musician.

In 2008 Johnstone wrote music for the films 'The Value of Hard Work' (UK) and 'Made in China'(USA), and wrote and produced the album 'Really Elementary', in the band '2 out of 3 Rule'.

In 2008-2009 he curated and exhibited in roughly 10 group exhibitions of Stuckist paintings.

Johnstone's art is mainly about emotions underneath the surface that are common to all. He tries to show us as being the same in a lot of ways. His favourite current painters are from the Stuckism art movement, German Expressionism, Fauvism, Post-Impressionism and Outsider Art.
