Art Exhibition – “Birds Season 3” by Kate Elsey

Our new member Cherubino invites you to the new art exhibition, ‘Birds Season 3,’ by the artist Kate Elsey, hosted by Linton and Kay Galleries.

Their art gallery is located in their stunning Margaret River cellar door and is open to the public from 10 am to 5 pm daily. This event is free.

Kate Elsey (b.1969, Perth) is an artist inspired by her unwavering love for nature, expressed through intricate landscapes and colour forms of abstract expressionism.

Recently confined to her home, Kate created this series of abstracted ink and paint musings in a sketch pad. They illustrate the archetypal structure of birds, either imagined or inspired by the bird life abundant in the backyard outside of her studio.

The titles of her bird series reflect Kate’s humour & connection to form. The Thinker with his beak to wing, references Rodin’s famous sculpture, My Day Out sees an adventurous bird in a paper boat, Lady Duck is dressed in a petticoat of feathers, while the jaunty wing of Mortar and Pestle bird suggests a pestle ready for action.

Kate Elsey’s work is at once greatly sensitive and emphatic. Her practice is supported by a particular empathy for the survival of life in perspective to her own. She is absorbed in the natural world and the significance of our co-existence and through this lens she creates tributes shaped by personal experiences.
