Fleur Stevenson
Fleur Stevenson is a Sydney based emerging artist, who creates abstract works which investigate the relationships between negative space, form and colour.
MessageWorking intuitively with a sense of curiosity, Fleur enjoys playing with the process by drawing directly on the surface and observing and responding to what she sees around her. These studies are then used to create stencils which are composed and layered with paint and spray paint. The initial drawn image becomes inserted amidst the materiality of other mediums. The value of the process is visible, but the essence of the place or person still lingers, informed by the immediacy of the drawn marks and foundations.
Fleur’s work has been selected as a finalist in the 2021 Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing, Milton Art Prize and the SBS Landscape Prize in Australia. More recently her work “A journey’s drawing” was a finalist in the 2021 Parkin Drawing Prize in New Zealand, as judged by Sarah Farrar, Head of Curatorial and Exhibitions at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki). “This drawing was created unknowingly by those responsible for its delivery, with mark-making as a response to the movement of its travels. I considered how to change the narrative and hope to convey a little beauty in something considered tedious and mundane, as couriering artwork.”
