CLAIRE PATERSON

Claire Paterson graduated from the Glasgow School of Art Painting and Printmaking
department in 2008, winning the inaugural Steven Campbell Hunt Medal for Poetic
Creativity, the School of Fine Art Dissertation Prize, and the British Airways Travel
Bursary - which she used to fund a trip around California, New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas, doing research into the iconography of various religious groups in these
states.
 
Paterson’s 2019 exhibition at GSA, The Arbitrary Ritual, was inspired by
collaborations she undertook at Brooklyn’s International Studio and Curatorial
Programme while on the 2016-17 Steven Campbell New York Scholarship. Since
then, Claire has continued with this spirit of collaboration, inviting the subjects of her
paintings to create their own new identities and mythologies through posing in a
theatrical way - a method which often produces exciting and spontaneous results.
