Floating in oceans, lakes and pools - escapist underwater images by Patsy McArthur

A new exhibition by an artist whose work attempts to capture the weightlessness of being underwater will open in London this autumn.

Otherworld is devoted to a new collection of paintings by Scottish figurative artist Patsy McArthur, the results of time spent in the deep and shallow waters of Australia earlier this year. The exhibition runs from 5-11 October 2015 at The Coningsby Gallery in Holborn, central London.
Patsy McArthur’s work explores the graceful and powerful movement of people. Following periods of painting freerunners, acrobats and trampolinists, she has progressed underwater, to swimming pools, lakes and the open sea, to capture the ways in which people move when submerged and the effects caused by the relationship between light, colour and water.
