The excitement of dragon boat racing, mixed media on canvas, 122 x 92cm

—Artist will be present on Saturday 5Th of September, 2-4pm—

In An Australian Accent, artist Tracey Esteves references Australian society, history and iconography by exploring the varying relationships between popular culture and fine art. Her body of work appropriates, produces and intermingles images from popular Australian culture which merge high and low art, and explore colour and shape. Esteves’ artwork captures the viewer by providing a sense of familiarity and enchantment within her Australian inspired works.

“I have a preoccupation with the formal elements of surface, space, pattern, and colour, and an intellectual interest in exploring place, narrative and identity. My artwork reflects elements of pop art, of post-modern appropriation, of formalism, and an appreciation of texture, line, colour and shape.” – Tracey Esteves
