Movement structures the work.
Place is carried through it.

Claudine O’Sullivan is a Glasgow-based artist working through Movement as Method, a framework that uses sustained movement to structure drawing and painting.

Running operates as a form of field research. Through repetition, observation and reduction, embodied experience is translated into abstract form.

Her work explores what remains after moving through a place: pressure, rhythm, memory, colour and spatial relationships. Recent paintings build on a sustained period of reduction, introducing colour and layered marks while retaining movement as their underlying structure.

Alongside her studio practice, Claudine develops artist-led collaborations, workshops and participatory projects with brands, publications and cultural organisations. She is currently open to selected commissions and collaborations.
