Kate Wallace looks to record and translate her own experience of place and urban living through the dialogue of representational painting. Using techniques such as scale, cropping, blur, repetition, montage and detail, her works are concerned with the translation of memory and construction of past through painting. Informed by photographs taken in moments of pause or transit, Wallace considers our shared view of the world as an intimate counterpoint to the fast and constant experience of today.

Wallace has a Masters in Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts and was the recipient of the Wingate Student Fellowship Art Prize. Her practice has her travelling worldwide, with significant exhibitions in New York, and Vienna and a residency at the NARS Foundation Residency Program. Back in Australia, Wallace has been an artist in residence at the esteemed Woollahra Gallery Program at Redleaf and has undertaken solo and group exhibitions at LON Gallery, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, Shepparton Art Museum and participated in Melbourne Now at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).
