Hollow Mark

The pieces Kelly creates are strong and vibrant with an ephemeral feel.

Overview

Mixed media, multimedia, new media, cross-disciplinary art – there’s a lot of words to describe art that is made outside of the ‘traditional’ domain of drawing, sculpture and paint. You know one local artist that isn’t using one of those terms (or made one up herself)? Madeleine Kelly. Originally studying Science/Philosophy/Psychology at the University of Queensland, Kelly is now an oil painter by trade, part of the Queensland College of Art staff and a current PhD student. Her works are inspired by the world around her, conveying mans relationship to nature – more specifically, its relationship to the burning of fossil fuels. The pieces Kelly creates are strong and vibrant with an ephemeral feel.

Kelly’s latest exhibition, Hollow Mark, will be exhibited at Kelly’s stomping grounds of the Queensland College of Art Gallery from this Friday until mid-November. If you’re looking for a little less genre-mashup headache and a little more single-layer imagery, stroll down to the better part of South Bank this Friday night.
