Paddocks for Ponies was the first series that saw her subconsciously exploring her future. \nParadoxically\, what started as a draft for impending plans has seen the needle now draw back across the past. \nReflecting a subconscious discovery of child-like memories and instances\, Kerry approaches each piece with a strong sense of play and naivety. Within the process she is always seeking to build an understanding of the narrative rather than create the aesthetic value in the piece. \nFeeding from spontaneity\, the palette contains a sequence of numeric and tangible values. Working with decisive idiosyncratic colours\, she maintains an integrity and powerful emotion with each purposeful stroke. Finding figuration through means of abstraction\, Kerry flagrantly makes marks in order to feel her way sequentially through the process of the piece. The intuitive nature of her strokes recalls a memory wrought with purpose and emotion. \nPreferring a degree of physical separation and otherness when reflecting on her works\, Kerry works to a large scale. Aiming to feel engulfed by her piece ultimately small by comparison she uses scale to amplify play and purity. Viewers of the work are invited to feel absorbed and drawn into the narrative along with the artist through scale. \nApplying the same spontaneity and child-like principles\, materials are not used sparingly. Simultaneously investigating contrasting textures of oil and acrylic paints Kerry moves with a rapid motion\, working with the piece until reaching a subconscious resolute.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b30bc6-b651″][vc_column_text]I am a Melbourne-based Abstract Expressionist. \nMy work allows me to capture and document moments of raw emotional honesty. I paint episodic glimpses of my life resulting in a deeper connection to subconscious\, personal matter. \nA physical distance and ‘otherness’ I feel when sitting back observantly from my work initiates and flirts with further dialogue. I’m always working towards a sense of self-understanding and growth through the work. \nKerry Armstrong \nSolo Exhibitions\n2016 Solo Show “All kinds of truth” 650 Church St\, Richmond VIC\n2016 Solo Show “Tell a stranger” Yellow House Gallery\, Potts Point\, NSW\n2016 Solo Show “Circular Thoughts” Metro Gallery\, Armadale\, VIC\n2015 Solo Show “Storms come early” Yellow House Gallery\, Potts Point\, NSW \nGroup Exhibitions\n2017 Group Show Owen Dixon Chambers\, VIC\n2016 Group Show Denfair\, Exhibition Centre\, VIC\n2015 Group Show Yellow House Gallery\, Potts Point NSW\n2015 Group Show Denfair\, Exhibition Centre\, VIC\n2014 Group Show “Melbourne Collective”\, Cooks Hill Gallery Newcastle NSW\n2014 Group Show “Shaking the Kaleidoscope” Tusk Gallery\, Prahran\, VIC\n2014 Group Show “Ready to bare” Liquid Art House Gallery\, Boston USA\n2014 Group Show “Peace of Art” Prahran\, VIC\n2014 Group Show CamART 2014\, Canterbury\, VIC \nPublications\nLondon Design Journal – Mim Design – Case Meallin Project \nContemporist – Mim Design – Case Meallin Project \nMedia\nVogue Living\, Belle Magazine\, Home beautiful\, Home Design Magazine\, Grand\nDesigns\, Art Edit\, Australian Country Homes \nCollaborations\nAurelio Costarella – Couture Collection – London/Paris 2016 \nArt Prizes\nEntrant – Wynne Prize – 2016\nEntrant – Belle Arti Prize – 2016\nEntrant – Paddington Prize – 2016 \nCollections\nFrancesca Packer Sydney\nVIP Suite Mirage Resort Port Douglas\nBox Hill Hospital\nNumerous Private residences\, Boston\, New York\, Singapore\, Hong Kong\, Italy\, NZ[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
