The Light is Different Here

The Corner Store Gallery, 2019

Madeline Young’s abstract compositions are inspired by the unique beauty of the Australian bush; the way dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, casting long rays of light and shadow and the distinctive blue-green of Eucalyptus leaves filling the air with their familiar scent. Madeline simplifies and exaggerates the shapes she finds in nature and uses blocks of colour to create works that, like the Australian bush, are simultaneously vibrant and serene.

“I want the viewer to feel as though they are lying on the ground looking up through the canopy of the bush with sunlight filtering through the rustling branches onto their face.”
