Join us for the opening event Wednesday 19 February from 5.30pm

Al Munro, Skewed Fold 2, 2024, acrylic on boxboard and wood panel, 70 x 70 x 4cm

Al Munro’s work spans painting, drawing and textile media to explore the connections of colour and pattern to fine art, craft and design and their links to geometry. Her work is informed by the characteristics and structures of textiles — warp and weft, folding and pleating and textile pattern systems. The artist uses these properties to explore abstraction in painting.

As the viewer moves around each work, areas of pattern are either revealed or hidden allowing the experience of the pattern, colours and forms to change according to the viewer’s position. ‘Folds’ further activate the experience, while collaged patterns disturb the perception of space within each composition.

Al Munro is an Australian artist working on Ngunnawal/Ngambri land in Canberra. She regularly exhibits within Australia and overseas, most recently presenting a solo show at the MATDOT Art Centre in Bangkok in December 2024. She holds a doctorate from the Australian National University School of Art.
