Being in Ultramarine (two) Painting

Sylvie Kettle is an artist from the Northern Rivers, known for merging feminine landscapes with bold mark-making and a dreamlike use of colour. Kettle's archetypal beings become an avenue to a vast garden of meaning, where we find a touching resonance with our most intimate selves. Her paintings form living invitations to a new way of seeing where memories are interwoven with a sense of collective thought. Traversing the line between spontaneity and considered mark-making compels Sylvie forward in her practice. This internal dialogue of polarities forges a deeply personal exploration of spirit, subconscious spaces & light play. Kettle's work lands somewhere between a sensorial depiction of daily pleasantries and transcendent landscapes. The human psyche is painted across scenes of gentle interconnection, with notions of abundant harvest, gatherings and an omnipresent light source. Sylvie is represented in Byron Bay, Melbourne, Singapore and Indonesia.
