Kylie Elkington

Kylie Elkington focuses on eternal themes of life cycles and the beauty of nature in its wildest forms. The found beauty in nature and Kylie’s concern about the depletion of natural diversity figure in works.

The subject matter is never accidental. Kylie draws from her memories and experience rendering keen observations of the minutiae, the smallest of details. Kylie creates multidimensional and colourful works using oil paint, layers of glazing and transparent pigment. Her works are embedded with the curiosity and observation of a botanist, such as Joseph Banks: but they are very contemporary in terms of their representation through her painterly approach.
