A graduate of Goldsmiths College, London, Arrowsmith’s work first attracted critical attention with a series of incredibly sensitive drawings, featuring innumerable, delicately drawn parallel lines that move across the surface of the paper in unnerving proximity. Most recently, Arrowsmith has turned to painting. These paintings offer a sense of the random glimpses that make up our experience of the world. Profoundly self-interrogatory, this is uncompromising work that conveys not only the experience of viewing the world but the experience of assimilating it.
