Kate Briscoe
Sydney-based artist Kate Briscoe has an extensive exhibition CV, exhibiting throughout Australia as well as exhibitions in Korea, Beijing, the UK and the US. She obtained her initial tertiary qualifications in the UK before migrating to teach at the National Art School and complete her Masters of Fine Art at COFA. Briscoe has been a finalist in the Blake, The Fleurieu Prize for Landscape, The Plein Air Prize, Wynne Prize, Calleen Art Prize, Muswellbrook Art Prize, KAAF Art Prize and Paddington Art Prize on various occasions.
Her work is included in major public collections including the Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, NSW Government House, and Parliament House Canberra. Respected art writers and critics including Joanna Mendellsohn, Peter Pinson, and Sasha Grishin have reviewed Briscoe’s practice. She has held over forty-six solo exhibitions.
Briscoe has refined a unique technique for creating her paintings, working sand acrylic and pigment across the canvas to create layering and textures reminiscent of the rock faces that inspire her. As Joanna Mendelssohn states: “The best way of describing these paintings is to say that they were born old — their toughness, monumentality and their rugged surface give the impression that in these works Briscoe has captured the ultimate essence of an ancient land.”
