The Island is a new exhibition by Brisbane-based artist Kate Barry, developed following a recent stay on Bruny Island, Tasmania. Drawing inspiration from the island’s shifting light, atmospheric conditions, and distinctive landscape, the exhibition continues Barry’s exploration of abstraction and place.
Known for her evocative painting practice, Barry responds to subtle changes in environment and mood, translating her experiences of landscape into layered abstract compositions. This new body of work reflects a deep engagement with the natural world and the fleeting qualities of light and weather that shape our experience of place.
