Madeline Young
Colourful, Textural Abstract Paintings
Madeline Young is a contemporary abstract artist living and working in Orange, NSW on Wiradjuri Country. Her practice explores colour, texture, and intuitive mark-making, resulting in expressive, layered works that celebrate movement, energy, and emotion. Madeline holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Newcastle (2009) and has exhibited widely across Australia over the past decade in both solo and group exhibitions. Alongside her vibrant studio practice, she is also the Curator and Gallery Director of The Corner Store Gallery, a role that continues to inspire and inform her own creative process.
Inspired by her young son’s innocent and instinctive mark-making, Madeline’s latest work embarks on a vibrant journey into pure abstraction. Colour takes center stage, subtly shifting with the seasons and reflecting her emotions. Texture and composition are equally essential, weaving layers of various mediums and materials to create rich depth and a sense of history in each piece.
