One of the longest debates in the art world surrounds itself around whether or not "Painting is Dead" - infamously spoken by Paul Delaroche in 1839 upon seeing the Daguerreotype for the first time. After centuries of debate, Back and Dead doesn't seek to claim painting as dead or alive. Back and Dead instead provides insight into contemporary painting in Melbourne in 2017 and asks audiences to make up their own mind about the state of the medium. Featuring work from Ajay Jenn

I'm proud to share with you that I have a couple of pieces in the first ever Modern Times group show, 'Home'. Filled with some amazing work from over 20 contemporary Australian artists, 'Home' opens on October 27th (and runs until November 10th) and explores the notion of home, and what it means to each artist. Check out the two pieces I have in the show below. Both pieces are up for sales (with pre-sales now open). For more info, email pip@moderntimes.com.au, and lock in Oct

Im super excited to see a couple of my pieces pop up the latest Dulux Colour Forecasting for 2016. Loving the retro modernist colour mix up of a red wall with the soft palette of my work! Styling by the lovely Bree Leech and Heather Nette King and photography by Lisa Cohen for Dulux. #SarahKelk #abstractpainting #painting #originalpaintings #melbournepainter #duluxcolourforecasting #dulux #forecasting #colourforecasting #breeleech #heathernetteking #retro #modernism #Duluxcol
