Kahli Perkins
Born Innisfail QLD, 1988
Lives and works in Melbourne I Naarm
Kahli Perkins skilfully creates luminous abstract paintings that reveal her commitment to materials, surface, light and colour. Evoking stillness, her works convey the beauty found in order, patterns and moments of quietude.
Her meditative ethereal paintings are borne of a painstaking process that involves physically manipulating the canvas into geometric forms prior to paint application. Using a unique spray technique, she builds layers of beguiling colour to achieve paintings that have an illusion of depth and that appear to glow from within. She also creates watercolour paintings by precisely paints strips of colour on paper to create an illusory effect.
Kahli recently completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at RMIT and has been included in several solo and group exhibitions. She was a finalist in the Sunshine Coast Prize 2021 and her work is held the Wesfarmers Collection of Australian Art as well as in private collections around Australia.
