Kylie Elkington’s latest exhibition includes paintings from a recently completed residency at Bundanon. Elkington’s appreciation of the understated drama of this landscape has fed directly into her current body of work where her love for depicting isolated regions of Australia is very much in evidence.
The patient and rhythmic shift of the mood and colour of these locations finds its equivalence in carefully composed paintings on ply, handpicked to utilize the grain, achieving gentle undulations and natural warmth, and on linen where the brushwork shares an affinity with the foliage with a more dramatic effect of colour and texture.
