Lindsey Jean McLean

Biography

Lindsey Jean McLean is an artist currently living and working in London. A recent MFA graduate in Painting from The Slade School of Fine Art. She studied her BA in painting at Glasgow School of Art and the Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing school.

McLean’s painting questions the historical representation of femininity and women in painting. McLean uses reoccurring motifs such as feather boas, fans and veils – transformative objects that obscure the gaze within the works. She subverts the historically patriarchal medium of oil paint to dismantle and create a new space to view femininity.
