We are delighted to announce that Emma Coulter’s stunning artwork, ‘balancing act’, has be selected as a finalist in the Stanthorpe Art Prize!
“My work explores both a formal and conceptual approach through the subject of ‘balancing’. Formally, the deconstructed and recomposed forms, imagine a line drawing as a three-dimensional composition, balancing through line, shape and colour. Conceptually, the work refers to the push-pull of the artist’s domestic life, as artist and mother.” - Emma Coulter
Working in the expanded field of painting, Emma Coulter, employs colour in a serial way, executed through a chromo-spatial approach. Through a refined colour palette, Coulter has created her own bold, idiosyncratic, spectrum, applied seamlessly across painting, sculpture, site-specific installation and public art.
Coulter’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, at numerous institutional, commercial and artist-run spaces, as well as in the public domain. Her work is also featured in various private and public art collections.
The Stanthorpe Art Prize is a biennial event that celebrates creativity in all its forms, featuring artists from far and wide sharing their unique perspectives and talents.
The exhibition will run from September 7 to November 10, at the new Stanthorpe Regional Gallery, Queensland.
James Makin Gallery will also be featuring a new body of paintings by Coulter at the forthcoming Sydney Contemporary Art Fair from September 5-8.
