Celebrated artist Kirsten Coelho has been named South Australian Living Arts (SALA) Festival featured artist for 2020 at the festival’s official opening event at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Coelho works in porcelain, producing reduction fired works that attempt to fuse the formal and the abstract. More recently her work has been influenced by nineteenth and early twentieth century enamel wares and the abstracted surface possibilities these objects can show as they begin to age. Since returning to Australia in 1998, Coelho has been a studio tenant at the JamFactory Centre for Contemporary Craft and Design and completed a Master of Visual Art at the South Australian School of Art.
