    Alongside new works by Sally Anderson, Joan Ross, and Fiona Lowry, Natasha Walsh will transform the booth into her working studio at Melbourne Art Fair, inviting visitors to observe the artwork as it comes to life.
     
    Throughout the fair, audiences will be able to witness her process up close, as gesture, material, and intuition unfold in real time. By relocating the act of making to the fair floor, Walsh collapses the boundary between studio and exhibition, offering a rare and intimate insight into her practice.

    Natasha Walsh's practice is informed by an understanding of the artist as an alchemist. Known for her transformation of pigments on copper surfaces, Walsh's work acutely observes delicately-painted figures that emerge from the surface. ‘From the moment that I prepare the surface, it begins to naturally oxidise. I experiment with applying different ground pigments which change colour in response to this process. These paintings visibly age as I work on them. As such, my attempt to transfix time is inherently impossible and this interests me.’

     

    Walsh has been a recipient of multiple awards, prizes, and scholarships, including The Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship, Mosman Art Prize, and The Kilgour Prize, and has been a finalist in The Archibald Prize four times, The BP Portrait Award (London National Portrait Gallery), The Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition (Edinburgh), and The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition (London).

  • Fiona Lowry
    Fiona Lowry

    Fiona Lowry’s practice has explored the complexity of the human condition. Through the use of airbrushed pastels and monochromatic colour palettes, Lowry’s images maintain an overarching softness and ambiguity.

     

    Her paintings of the Australian landscape depict the bush as both alluring and unsettling. Rendered in dreamlike colour and diffused through her distinctive technique, these scenes become surreal theatres for human intervention, charged with unease and quiet menace.

     

    A winner of the Archibald, Moran Portrait, and Fleurieu Landscape Prizes, her work is held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Portrait Gallery, and The University of Queensland Art Museum.
