{"product_id":"lewis-kate-morning-salute-18627","title":"Kate McKenzie Lewis 'Morning salute'","description":"\u003cp\u003eKate McKenzie Lewis’ painting practice is deeply engaged with the Australian landscape. Spending much of her life in rural locations across Victoria and New South Wales, Lewis’ relationship with nature intrinsically informs her works. Through expressive, gestural brushstrokes, the artist creates atmospheric impressions of the land, reflecting both what she sees and how she remembers it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Lewis’ 2026 oil painting 'Morning Salute', the natural world is brought to life through energetic, gestural brushwork and a vivid, contrasting palette. Balancing abstraction with figurative representation, Lewis creates a scene that feels both immediate and expressive, inviting the viewer into a world alive with colour and movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince completing her Masters in Contemporary Art at VCA in 2022, Lewis has exhibited extensively in both solo and group exhibitions. She has been selected as a finalist for several major national art exhibitions, including Hadley’s Art Prize, Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize, and the Len Fox Painting Award. For collectors fascinated by contemporary approaches to landscape painting, Lewis’ works are a momentous discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/collections\/kate-mckenzie-lewis\"\u003eKate McKenzie LEWIS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Morning salute' 2026\u003cbr\u003eoil on board\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 15 x 20 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 17 x 22 x 4 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Signed and dated on verso.\u003cbr\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003cbr\u003eCondition:\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(c) The Artist or Assignee\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art and Collectors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50657016283206,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0499\/8229\/files\/lewis-kate-morning-salute-18627.jpg?v=1792212847","url":"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/products\/lewis-kate-morning-salute-18627","provider":"Art and Collectors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
