BIO
Born in 1982 in Warkworth, Yvonne Abercrombie’s rural upbringing fostered a deep connection to nature, which remains a subtle influence in her work. After completing her Master of Design in 2017, she developed a practice centered around figurative and expressionist painting, placing the figure within abstract landscapes.
Her vibrant, "edible" compositions mix artificial and incoordinate colors, creating a playful yet seductive visual experience. With nods to historical symbolism and traditional oil painting, Abercrombie adds a contemporary twist, using bold contrasts and unexpected color pairings to engage with modern discussions on the figure in art.
