Movement structures the work.
Space becomes the subject.
Claudine O'Sullivan is a Glasgow-based artist whose practice develops through Movement as Method, a framework that uses sustained movement as a structure for drawing and painting.
Running operates as a form of field research. Through repetition, observation and reduction, embodied experience is translated into abstract form and spatial structure.
Recent work investigates how movement can generate enclosure, containment and internal space. Rather than depicting landscape, the paintings explore what repeated movement leaves behind: pressure, memory and the emergence of form through reduction.
