Leni Kae

Born in Sydney, 32yo contemporary artist Leni Kae has exhibited across Florence Biennale 2009, New York, Varese, London, and around Australia. Awarded an artist residency in Varese Italy this year, Kae is also exhibiting in Bologna Italy and in the Barcelona Showcase at Guadi’s Casa Battlo in 2011.

In essence artwork Kae’s artwork in full of colour and symbolism, integrating colour science and semiotics to satisfy both an artistic and scientific mission; to capture beauty, but also to liberate emotions and elicit positive memories.

A particular focus on the female form becomes the symbol of emotion and nurturing, but combines strength of pose, colour and composition to ignite a sense of strength. Flowing lines, bold forms and tones all interact to support liberation but also connectedness, to “remind the audience of the universal bond we carry as human beings – emotion, memory, desire and dream”.

Her artwork she says is essentially a “wish on a canvas, an expression of truth, emotion and liberated dreams”.
