I'm super excited to finally share what I've been busy working on with the amazing

team at Boom Gallery. 'From Place To Place', my latest solo show is now open.

Group Show // Boom Gallery

February 23rd - March 19th

Boom Gallery, 11 Rutland Street, Newtown, VIC 3220

Drawn to compositions and arrangements which continually intersect and play off each other, From Place to Place by Sarah Kelk explores the active balancing of harmony and tension between colour, shape and form.

Within each work is an exploration of intersecting relationships curated layer upon layer, building up to create new narratives which often place themselves somewhere between restfulness and tension.

From the energetic and organic under layers, which add a vital calmness, to the bold and often playfully geometric layers which follow, it often feels as through there is a collision in every part of the canvas. From a place of harmony to a place of tension, as if we are viewing these works through some sort of window with an ever-changing and dramatic landscape filled with strong and colourful interwoven shapes.

I'm super excited to finally share what I've been busy working on with the amazing

team at Boom Gallery. 'Internal Geometries', a group exhibition featuring Ellie Malin, Alichia van Rhijn and myself is now open. Each of these artists use form and structure in their work to process and explore memories, experiences and the subconscious.


Group Show // Boom Gallery

October 7th - 31st

Boom Gallery, 11 Rutland Street, Newtown, VIC 3220

There is a harmonious tension to these new works as slabs of colour, both dense and soft, float weightlessly though space. Elements of geometric structure appear in almost all areas of the works, with rigid lines and flat solid blocks of colour softly dissolving at the edges. Expressive textures layered amongst the works provide energy and life, reminding us that these works are built up layer by layer over time.


The fluid quality in my practice is achieved through a playful process of intuition and improvisation, as I gradually build up layers of paint, with no end goal in sight. Residue of gestures and under layers is always present, with watery washes and drips of blue streaking through the backgrounds, suggesting stormy skies and memories from times gone by. Layered on top of these charged surfaces, I build up juicy blocks of opaque paint resembling architecture against the sky. These block of colour hover intimately close to one another, creating a harmonious tension with the layers beneath to create a floating abstract world.
