Natalie Lavelle is a Meanjin / Brisbane based artist working across abstract painting fields of minimalism, abstract expressionism, and colour field painting. Her practice questions historical understandings and interpretations of art by promoting a leaning-in to the immediate, sensuous experience of the work. In their object-ness and through gestural formalist negotiations, these paintings often consider their likeness to the human body and bodily identities.
Lavelle has a Bachelor of Fine Art Honours (Class I) from Queensland College of Art (QCA) where she was the recipient of the Zonta Club Brisbane River Acquisitive Prize (2018). Her work has been exhibited at Jan Manton Gallery (Qld), Outer Space Contemporary Art Organisation (Qld), Queensland College of Art Galleries, Campbelltown Arts Centre (NSW), Stable Artspace (Qld), Saint Cloche (NSW), Five Walls (VIC), Galeria Azur (Berlin, GER), Byron School of Art (NSW) and Royal Queensland Art Society where she was awarded the Abstraction Art Prize by judge, Andrew Baker. Natalie’s work is in the collections of Artbank(Sydney), Queensland Children’s Hospital, The Justin Art House Museum (Melbourne) and various Corporate and Private Collections. Natalie is represented by Jan Manton Gallery (Brisbane, Qld).
