Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes

?According to Regina Haggo, in a biography of the artist, “Stephen J. Arthurs’ trademark is the aerial view, often from a great height, so that natural and architectural setting and the human figures look very small…Whether he is depicting modern urban life or historical battle scenes, the exquisite details of his richly coloured acrylics reveal a love of pattern and an intimate understanding of the subject… Cyclists are among Arthurs’ favourite subjects, whether they are racers participating in the Tour de France or casual cyclists holding up traffic. His cyclists resemble soldiers mounted on horses and, like soldiers, they are painted travelling in groups. The military analogy is appropriate, since battles have long been an important source of inspiration for Arthurs.”
