Alice Macdonald, Swimming in the River (Artist's Proof), 2022

£695.00

Monoprint with drypoint,76.5 x 55.5cm

Alice Macdonald is an emerging, London-based artist whose diaristic paintings are informed by a broad range of sources spanning historical literature, classic films, myths, fairytales, memories, and friends and family painted from life. Fascinated by the complexities of human behaviour, emotion and relationships, she is attracted to the cinematic and the melodramatic, as well as the idea of role-playing. In her words: ‘I am interested in my subjects' psychological state and innermost thoughts and feelings but, dichotomously, I am also fascinated by the impossibility of knowing what these really are’.

Alice’s jewel-like works on paper form a core part of her practice, ranging in scale from small watercolour and gouache paintings to larger limited edition and unique works. This unframed monoprint is an artist’s proof made as one of a series of three depicting the artist swimming al fresco, upside-down, surrounded by water plants and a friendly swan.

Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
