Additional Info
Kim Barter is based in regional Victoria and draws inspiration from the landscape – observing its power, beauty and fragility. Her gestural style evokes sensations of wonder, layered with colour, texture and line.
Barter’s abstract mark-making stems from a process of intuition, her time in the studio a period of intense reflection and consideration. She begins working in a way that attempts to remove all the words and visual ‘reality’ of the landscape, searching for an unselfconscious response to share her feelings and thoughts. Her work serves as a reminder to herself and others the beauty of Australia’s terrain.
