Madeline Young Australian abstract art

Madeline Young, Somewhere Far From Here, 2025, acrylic on board, 78x60cm.

Madeline Young creates intuitive abstract paintings that respond to emotion, memory, and the shifting rhythms of the Australian landscape. Working with brushes, palette knives, rollers, and unconventional tools, she builds layered surfaces of texture, pattern, and gesture. Her dreamlike palettes - soft pinks, muted greens, earthy browns, and shifting blues - act as an emotional language, recording seasons, experiences, and states of being. Rather than depicting place, her work distills its presence, offering contemplative spaces where time, landscape, and feeling converge.

Madeline is an Australian abstract artist based in Orange, NSW, on Wiradjuri Country. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Newcastle (2009) and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia. Since 2014, she has also been Curator and Director of The Corner Store Gallery, an independent space dedicated to supporting and showcasing emerging contemporary artists.
