Kirsty Whiten

Biography
"I make frank images of people, dealing with their psychology and socially constructed behaviour, making the viewer aware of the sexuality, control and neuroses underneath appearance."

Kirsty Whiten is an artist known for her intricate figurative drawings and paintings. Whiten’s portraits of the ‘imagined anthropological’ recall the writing of Pliny, the mythological figures summoned up by Homer, the psychoanalytic Wolfman, and the moralist paintings of Hieronymous Bosch.
