France-Lise Mcgurn

France-Lise McGurn is an artist who lives and works in Glasgow. McGurn’s mixed media figurative practice delivers a wholly immersive experience, her large scale atmospheric paintings escape the canvas and draw the viewer away from the public realm of a gallery, directly into her personal world, the studio, bedroom and her imagination. The figures she paints are often found reclining in ecstasy and agony, sometimes languid and other times bathed in air of euphoria. In 2019, McGurn mounted a site-specific exhibition at Tate Britain in London.
