Donald MacDonald

After graduating from Grays school of art in 1999 Donald MacDonald left his home on the isle of lewis and moved to Glasgow to progress his career as an artist. He was offered a teaching post in Denmark shortly after where he taught and studied for several months.

"My work is about the study of the human figure ,its ergonomics, physical limits and its construction. I am fascinated by the transparency of skin and trying to capture the network of tones which flow beneath it. I find it more important for the painting to look "alive" than "real" in the photographic sense of the word."

Donald exhibits mainly in Glasgow and is a frequent exhibitor in Glasgow and London art fairs.
