Kari Cahill
Kari Cahill - Artist talk
About this event
Kari Cahill will be discussing her work, creative process and what inspires her. Kari will showcase some of her artworks and pieces she is working on. She characterises her paintings as site-responsive and experimental. Her work captures the essential aspects of colour, texture and emotions that I find rooted in landscapes. The imagery is not grounded in representation but rather a reimagining of the essence of a site. Visually, she creates bold, visceral works that stretch between two and three dimensions. She drip, scrape, bruise and blush colour onto surfaces. Topographic and mineralogical connotations are present in the aesthetic of her work.
