Kate Arthur, South Africa

​Kate Arthur is a South African artist currently based in Cape Town.  She works predominantly in mediums of painting, drawing and printmaking, with a particular interest in portraiture and representations of the body. 

In her work, she looks at aspects of queer identity and notions of the self, through both figurative and abstracted visual explorations.  Her practice involves traditional approaches to artmaking as well as more experimental processes of intuition and play. 

She has exhibited in various group shows around the country and in 2017 she won the Sanlam National Portrait Award.
