b. 1974, Australia
Kylie Fogarty, Australian artist who explores the wonder of life through her drawing lead practice.
Connecting to the sublime in nature’s landscape, Kylie embraces the organic flow of medium and gestural movement, evoking the sense of the poetry she sees in the world.
Known for her atmospheric response to time and place, her signature line work and expressive marks serve as a narration on the ever-changing natural world we share.
A love of the timeless nature of archival inks hand drawn on luscious fine art papers and exquisite linen canvas, Fogarty embraces traditional drawing tools of calligraphy nib pens which complement experimentation of various drawing tools and medium, oil sticks and limited brush work.
Paramount to the process, periods of quiet contemplation during the evolution of the piece are often threaded throughout. Months of reflection on connection to subject and felt experience is often embedded in the creation story of each work.
Exhibiting regularly across Australia and Internationally, Kylie has been recognised as a finalist and invited artist in the Kedumba Drawing Award 2023 & 2020, Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize, Grace Cossington Smith Art Award, and the Lynn McCrae Memorial Drawing Prize.
Her works are housed in many collections, both public and private including being archived in the National Gallery of Australia in the Animalia International Print Exchange 2013, 2015 and 2017.
