Kate Smith’s inaugural institutional solo show Shampoo Studio is opening at the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) in Albury, NSW.
As part of the institution’s nginha: you are here programme, the exhibition celebrates the Wagga Wagga-based artist’s spontaneity, quickness, and attention to the generally unseen moments that contribute to the construction of paintings such as doodles and underpainting. Smith’s layered, complex surfaces reflect the mechanics of painting and create open pictorial spaces where the heartfelt and the self-ironising can co-exist.
