Born in 1942 in London, Arthur Maderson studied fine Art from 1959 to 1963 at Camberwell school of Art, South London, where in 1963 he won the Anna Berry Award in open competition with graduates from all the leading Art Schools in England.
In 1987 Arthur moved from somerset to a totally isolated 17th century Welsh Longhouse high in the Cambrian Mountains, with no electricity or phone.
Although he had established a formidable reputation in the UK, in 1999 he moved to the relative obscurity of
rural Ireland. He is now recognised as being one of Ireland’s strongest figurative painters. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy of London, he has been awarded the Cornelisson Award at the West of England Academy, and was gifted the award for ‘most distinguished painting’ at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin.
