Kendall Perkins
With a long list of sell out exhibitions and a unique style that has become highly collectable, Kendall has make her mark on the contemporary art scene in a big way!
Based on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, she brings a breath of fresh air to an art scene that has become predictable and formulated. She is a progressive, aggressive artist that has established herself on the global art scene in a blaze of colour and character! It's not just great art, it's a celebration of "all things Australian".
In Kendall's paintings you could find Queensland beach sand, Australian native grasses and rolled gold. Flowers, people fish cityscapes, country scenes and beach life are just a few images drawn from Kendall's imagination that depict Aussie life. This creates an eternal bond between the art, the artist, the subject and the viewer.
Kendall's art is represented in public and private collections world wide. She has represented Australia in key Asian markets.
Kendall was invited to paint live on location for an Australian showcase in India called "The Downunder Feast" travelling to New Delhi, Bangalore; and Mumbai with live painting performances in these cities. This followed her sell-out exhibition in Singapore in March 2005 where she was an Artist in residence in the "Best of Australia" showcase at Raffles City.
Prior to this in January 2005 Kendall was Australia's official artist in residence at "The Australia Day" showcase in Seoul, South Korea. Kendall was also given the official title of "Australia's Goodwill Ambassador' to Seoul, an honour bestowed on her by the Australian High Commission.
Always changing and evolving you never know what her next exciting new series will be, Kendall has always regarded herself as "an innovator not and imitator" always throwing caution to the wind as she creates each next body of work. Kendall believes her work needs no deciphering, "people buy my paintings because they have a feel good factor, they make them feel happy and alive!"
