Artist Profile
Madeleine Palmer is a Melbourne based painter, who gained her Bachelor of Fine Art Honours in 2022 at RMIT.
Palmer’s work seeks to gently unpick assumptions about reality by exploring the tenuous state of mankind’s disturbance of the natural order in the anthropocene; It sits in a place between benign and malign, beautiful and grotesque, dissolving the borders between fantasy and reality. By imbuing quirky forms with an energy that speaks to the essence of fecundity, her subject matter acts as a vehicle for talking about growth, movement and change in the natural world. The work seeks to escape the confines of stillness and rather seeks to capture and convey a sense of vital energy…..an unstill life.
