Kate McKenzie Lewis: Look Out For
As featured in Art Collector, Issue 116
Every issue, Art Collector's Look Out For column rounds up artists and presentations worth keeping an eye on - a curated snapshot of practitioners building momentum across the Australian art scene. Australian painter Kate McKenzie Lewis has been profiled in Issue 116.
Working in expressive oils, Kate explores the Australian landscape, using found imagery, photography and time spent in nature to sit with themes of loss, destruction and the strange beauty that follows.
Kate shares how a 2023 collaboration with artist John Wolseley shaped her thinking on working with the environment rather than simply depicting it.
'…that experience helped me understand working collaboratively with the environment. Under- standing how he thinks of his work as not just his but as an extension of something more is illuminating.'
