Amina McConville

Amina McConvell lives on Gulumoerrgin (Larrakia) Country, Darwin. She works primarily with formalist Abstraction, geometric Conceptualism and Non-Objective Abstraction, and locates her practice within the frame of expanded painting. She often makes large-scale site-specific works, either directly onto the walls or by installing pieces developed for the specifics of a gallery or alternative space.

Amina McConvell has exhibited extensively across Australia and in southeast Asia, including at Sangkring Project Space, Yogyakarta (2013); Krack Studio, Yogyakarta (2014), Griffith University Art Museum, Brisbane (2015); Verge Gallery, University of Sydney (2015); Firstdraft, Sydney (2015); Sydney Non-Objective (2016); J-Studio, Manila (2016); and 98B COLLABoratory, Manila (2018). Amina has been included in the Gertrude Contemporary Studio 18 Residency Program and has received numerous grants and awards for her work.

In this abstract work, Amina McConvell evokes the overstimulating effect of the night market, where colours, textures and objects clash, nothing quite makes sense, and chaos prevails.
