Tempera Painting - The Turquoise Curtain (A Show for the Mutants) - dimensions approx 20" x 26" (made by Stephen Arthur)
All paintings are TEMPERA PAINT on acid-free papers.
Short Biography
Born in Vancouver in 1954, Arthur started making award-winning animated art films at age 14 and
continued to make them while studying biology at UBC. He then turned to experimental live-action
films, followed by graduate studies in conventional live-action film production. This led to a ten-year
period of writing six feature-length screenplays while making a living as a technical writer. After a third
major detour as a neuroscience graduate student, Arthur returned to his roots as a self-taught
experimental/fine-art animator, this time on the computer. He was then awarded the maximum
amounts from The Canada Council for the Arts for both a creative-development grant and a film-
production grant. His most notable film, Transfigured (1998), animates the paintings of Jack Shadbolt as
a National Film Board of Canada production. After a decade of intensive Buddhist insight practice,
Arthur became an intuitive painter in 2021.
Artist Statement
I am an intuitive painter, working in tempera paint on paper and canvas. I love being constantly
surprised by what spontaneously emerges from my unconscious mind in the scenes of my unplanned
paintings. I react intuitively from one image to the next as the final painting emerges. Because of my
background in biology and neuroscience, and because of my full life as a filmmaker, I offer an alternative
perspective. All of the themes that develop spontaneously during my painting process are deep
investigations into time and being alive—wonderment at the struggle of life and mind. The paintings
often bring up the slippery and hidden things that our everyday mind likes to ignore, inviting
contemplation. My intuitive process usually leads to unexpected insights, many that can’t be expressed
in words. Things emerge more like staged dramas or cinematic narratives, with multiple or ambiguous
meanings— like life itself. My images tend to be organic, a kind of visual poetry, driven by sudden
insights, new associations, and moods.
This painting has been created & signed by Stephen Arthur
