Duncan Macarthur

Family Portraits

Red Gallery
Wednesday 22 July – Sunday 2 August

Duncan Macarthur’s practice explores the intersection of queer identity, memory, and the expressive potential of contemporary portraiture. Drawing from an archive of found family photographs and Pop iconography, they investigate how personal and collective histories can be reimagined through the physical act of painting.

Central to their work is a specialised methodology of material experimentation, using spray paint to fortify Queer narratives through a process of Mimetic Drift. By allowing the source image to dissolve and shift during execution, this visual drift serves as a potent metaphor for the fluidity of identity. By layering historical references with a vibrant, visceral materiality, Macarthur’s paintings bypass literal likeness to capture the psychological depth of the queer experience. Ultimately, this body of work invites viewers to consider how we construct our own histories and how those narratives continue to shape our presence in the world today.
