Clare Brodie

Sydney

Undulating forms and soft tones are two of the mechanisms at play in Clare Brodie’s intimate and balanced landscape evocations. From her knowledge of colour theory, and exploration of structure and form, Brodie's paintings distil the complexities of landscape into interlaced organic shapes with a playfulness that belies their complexity. Despite levelling the foreground, mid-ground, and background as a single graphic plane, her works are informed by a deep understanding of pictorial composition, space and perspective.

Sydney based, Brodie has had solo exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney. She has also shown at fairs including Aotearoa Art Fair and Spring1883, and been shortlisted for art prizes including the Fishers Ghost Art Award and the Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize. Her collectors extend beyond Australia to the UK and South East Asia.

We are delighted to welcome Clare to Gallerysmith in 2024.
