NEW PRINT // DONATION TO MENTAL HEALTH

NEW ART PRINT

Morning Light

50 % FROM EACH PRINT SALE

WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY

After much deliberation, I have decided to add a new print into the mix,

taken from a very personal original work of mine.

This print is moody, but its also uplifting!

I'm also pleased to let you know that 50% from every 'Morning Light'

print sale will be donated to charities to raise funds for mental health services,

specifically to help lower rates of suicide. 50% from each print sale will

be donated to Lifeline, Beyond Blue and I am Hope.

"This dark and moody piece was the first work I painted

after loosing my Dad to suicide in 2019.

They were stormy days. I'm hoping to help create something

positive out of such a tragic event, which is why I'm donating 50%

from all sales of this print to both Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.

Thank you for your support. It means the world to me", Sarah Kelk.

EVERYDAY EPHEMERA // SOLO SHOW // MODERN TIMES

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

team at Modern Times. My solo show 'Everyday Ephemera' is now open, and I am so thrilled to people are now able to see the exhibition in person (a major highlight despite the challenges of 2020).

EVERYDAY EPHEMERA

Solo Show // Modern Times

October 29th - November 12th

Modern Times, 311 Smith Street, Fitzroy, VIC 3065

This new body of work is an introspective series of abstract paintings inspired by my personal world, a world that like everybody else's, shifted so dramatically in 2020. I began to look closer to home for inspiration, in particular, within the walls of my own studio and the library of visual inspiration and mementos I have collected over many years.

With lockdowns in place due to Covid-19, my focus very much moved inwards. I was seeking simplicity – and reaching out to the comforts and connections of what surrounded me. My studio wall and its snippets from decades of collecting provided me with pops of colour, moody hues, strong shapes and landscape photos. These collected and curated inspirations proved to be the perfect inspirations for this personal body of work.

Everyday Ephemera follows the trajectory of past shows as my work became both simultaneously more structured and more relaxed; small areas of colour have given way to large swathes of paint with hard edges. The tighter compositions of earlier work have been released, allowing these blocks of colour to take on a more floaty quality as layers of underpainting become visible in between. The subtly directional brushwork and layering bring a moody yet soft, fluid energy to each work.
