Melbourne-born, Byron based Kat Bak will open her exhibition ‘Romantica’ at Newrybar Merchants in alignment with International Womens Day and as part of the Newrybar Merchants Pop-Up Artist program. Through simplistic minimal lines and fluctuating brushstrokes and tone, Kat’s work focuses on abstract elements of the human landscape; in particular the wondrous female form. Through the series she explores notions of connection, reflection, and the ideals we have within our closest relationships; between lovers, family, friends and ourselves.
