Patsy McArthur

Scottish, b. 1976

Scottish artist Patsy McArthur explores the grace and power of human movement in her naturalistic drawings and paintings. Her latest works, including small ink studies, charcoal and graphite drawings and large oil paintings, convey a palpable sense of strength and athleticism, while also evoking a transcendent quality in the depiction of the human form in various states of suspension, from leaping and soaring to flying and falling. Above all, a feeling of freedom is carried throughout. McArthur studied painting in Aberdeen in the northeast of Scotland at the Gray's School of Art, where she received an Honors BA in Fine Art. She was awarded the Royal Scottish Academy John Kinross Scholarship to study abroad in Florence. In 2001, McArthur completed her MA in European Fine Art from the Winchester School of Art in Barcelona. McArthur has lived and worked in Australia, Spain, China, Berlin and New York and is currently based in Brighton, UK. This multinational perspective is reflected in her work by her striking ability to capture the universality of human emotion.

Momentum is a dynamic and unique charcoal on paper, framed on a beautiful custom white box frame - all archival materials. The painting perfectly captures the movement of the horse and the monochromatic palette makes this a stunning contemporary painting. The horse has a sleek dark grey coat.

Her latest works, including small ink studies, charcoal and graphite drawings, and large oil paintings, convey a palpable sense of strength and athleticism, while also evoking a transcendent quality in the depiction of the human form in various states of suspension, from leaping and soaring, to flying and falling.
