Donald MacDonald

Donald graduated from Grays School of Art in 1999. He left his home on the Isle of Lewis
moving 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.

During his time in Copenhagen he exhibited in a couple of galleries and on completion of the course he was offered a residency in Morocco. He turned down this offer, as he wanted to develop and concentrate on his work here in Scotland.

His work is about the study of the human figure, its ergonomics, physical limits and its construction. He is fascinated by the transparency of skin and trying to capture the network of tones which flow beneath it. He finds it more important for the painting to look "alive" than "real" in the photographic sense of the word. Of the many opportunities afforded to him, was a request from South Lanarkshire Council for a commission, which was presented to the firts minister. It was hung in the Scottish Executive building after touring several Scottish schools.
