Renée
Kanowitz

In the Sydney studio, with a work in progress. Self-taught, painting full time — surfaces built slowly, layer over layer, until they come alive.

Feeling is the first layer. The painting begins in emotion, then finds its own language through colour, texture and movement.
Practice

Renée Kanowitz is a self-taught abstract painter working from her Sydney studio. Her surfaces are built slowly, through thick pigment and many textural layers. Nature, music and memory meet in paintings that move between botanical forms, landscape and ceremonial narrative.

Studio

A practice led by intuition.

Renée paints bright and bold, in many textural mediums, built up in layers until the surface becomes alive. Works are held in private collections in Australia and internationally.
