Lottie Consalvo: The Invisible World
We’ve long admired Lottie Consalvo’s work and the way it occupies that delicate space between what’s seen and what’s felt. Her paintings and performances seem to exist on the edge of consciousness—asking us to pause, to think, and to let go of certainty.
Lottie speaks often about “the invisible world”—the inner landscapes of thought, memory, and imagination that can’t be touched or measured, yet shape so much of what we experience. It’s th is pursuit that gives her work its quiet intensity.
This year she was named among Australia’s 100 most collectable artists. A public survey of her video and performance practice was recently held at Watt Space Gallery in Newcastle, and earlier in the year she received the Muswellbrook Art Prize. She’s currently a finalist in the Mosman Art Prize.
Stylistically, her paintings may nod to Abstract Expressionism, but their spirit feels more meditative. Through limited colour and controlled gesture, Lottie invites us into a kind of stillness, a space where emotion and thought can briefly align.
Her new exhibition continues this exploration, it’s an ongoing conversation between the visible and the imagined, the material and the mind.
