ARTIST STATEMENT
Sylvie Veness is an emerging artist who is based on the South Coast of NSW. Specialising in drawing, printmaking and textiles, Veness creates abstract works on paper that juxtapose materials and gestures with symbols and asemic text. The resultant works are diaristic compositions that explore the paradoxical aspects of inner life such as tension and fear, silence and serenity.
Veness completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2017 for which she was awarded the National Art School University Medal. In the same year she also won the John Olsen Drawing Prize and the Parkers Printmaking Prize. In 2018 she was a finalist for the Meroogal Art Prize and the Waverley Art Prize.
Veness has recently graduated from the National Art School with a Master of Fine Arts degree. This qualification was supported by the award of the East Sydney Doctors Scholarship in 2021.
In 2022, on the completion of Veness’ post-graduate studies, she received The Australian Galleries Award.

Continue readingHarvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
