Arthur’s work, often haunting and intimate, combines minimalism with the perfect touch of sincerity, her series of black and white images a perfect selection for Saint Laurent’s exhibition.
With projects that explore sexuality, youth city culture, women and cultural divides, Arthur’s portfolio is extensive and captivating, surely culminating in an exciting showcase hitting the Thames-side location in the Capital this June.
