Biografia

Sue Arrowsmith è nata nel 1968 a Manchester, nel Regno Unito. Si è laureata nel 1990 presso il Goldsmith’s College, vive e lavora a Londra.

Durante le passeggiate fatte nella zona prossima a dove vive cattura le immagini su pellicole diapositive da 35 millimetri. A seguire, una volta elaborate, le proietta sulla parete del suo studio.
Utilizzando inchiostri ed acrilici, Arrowsmith dipinge direttamente su una superficie preparata e composta solitamente da un pannello di alluminio che viene lavorato con la tecnica ad acquerello, sebbene recentemente abbia iniziato ad utilizzare il metallo dorato. Questi metalli preziosi sono diventati parte integrante della pratica dell’artista, poiché le consentono di giocare con la luce.
Così, cambiando durante il giorno, le immagini danzano e si muovono sulla superficie, sino a non risultare mai statici.

Dipingendo in modo fluido e veloce, gocce e rigonfiamenti si accumulano per formare un’immagine che, sviluppandosi gradualmente, diventa sempre più astratta rispetto all’originale.
L’artista afferma: “Sono interessata a esplorare i temi della luce, del gesto e dello spazio attraverso l’energia e il ritmo della creazione di segni”. Sue Arrowsmith ha esposto ampiamente in Europa e nel Regno Unito.
