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. The artist studied painting in aberdeen in the northeast of scotland at the gray's school of art, where she received an honors b.a. In fine art. She was awarded the royal scottish academy john kinross scholarship to study abroad in florence. In 2001, mcarthur completed her m.a. 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.
