Kristine Ballard Description

KBallard-Profile-Image

 

Sydney based artist, Kristine Ballard is lover of colour and sunshine. Selective colour palettes and disintegrated shapes define her unique style she calls ‘Fragmatism’. This is where images float, dissolve and fragment across the canvas, and beauty is often camouflaged. Deconstructed shape and reconstructed colour is the driving force behind her creations.  

Specialising in contemporary abstraction, her artworks are the creative response to the world around her. Her world is one of colour and vibrancy. Always looking for the positive, she seeks out the bypassed or dismissed in nature and translates that to canvas. Be it a vase of flowers or the corner of a coastline, Ballard aspires to inject sunshine and colour into every piece. She aims to give those subjects a new life, one that can generate a place of magic and mystery. One that requires the viewer to complete the story.

In a world where the edges keep falling away, Ballard’s style of ‘Fragmatism’ could not be more appropriate. A world that keeps slipping and sliding out of view, one in which we are all searching for the light, Ballard offers us a positive escape through her dreamscapes and still life artworks. 

Ballard has exhibited both nationally and internationally. She has been a selected finalist in many art shows around Australia and has collectors worldwide. Her quest for colour has fuelled her worldly travels which include a number of Art Residencies. These include residencies at the prestigious Art Students League of New York, the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice and at Monsalvat in Victoria, Australia’s oldest art colony. Her most recent residency was with the Mornington Peninsula Shire held at Police Point in Portsea where she prepared work for her show with Manyung at the Sorrento Gallery.

Ballard specialises in understanding the history of colour. Her knowledge of colour has been sought out for many teaching and educational events. Her love of colour and creativity has made her a passionate presenter and facilitator of the arts, delivering workshops, demonstrations and art retreats. She believes everyone deserves the chance to live ‘bright beyond beige’ and her artworks show this commitment through colour and light.
