Australian Art,  Authentic and Iconic 

“The subject matter is distinctly Australian…the audience instantly recognises it…it’s part of our DNA.”  Johnny Romeo Internationally acclaimed Australian Pop Artist (Katoomba 2018).

 

I am a proactive and passionate visual artist, a “mixer “and “producer “of figurative culturally Australian inspired works. My artwork references Australian history, and iconography and explores the varying relationships between popular culture and fine art. My work appropriates, produces and mixes images from popular Australian culture which merge high and low art, and explore colour and shape. My artwork captures the viewer providing a sense of familiarity and enchantment within my culturally Australian inspired works. 

I have a preoccupation with the formal elements of surface, space, pattern, and colour, and an intellectual interest in exploring place, narrative and identity. My artworks reflect elements of pop art, of post-modern appropriation, of formalism, and an appreciation of  texture, line, colour and shape.

 

"Tracey Esteves Art's bold, iconographic style makes her a distinctly recognisable artist in the Australian contemporary art space. "Frances Keevil Gallery Double Bay

"Tracey Esteves Art uniquely combines elements of Pop Art, Formalism and Post-Modernism in her iconographic work. 
Expect bold colours, defining lines and characteristic stylisation in her latest exhibition."  Frances Keevil Gallery Double Bay
