Kate Beynon and Rali Beynon

Bring your little ones and join artist Kate Beynon as she activates her Fantastic Faces Space! Kate has created 200 cushions with 31 colourful designs that you can arrange with her on the felt walls to create imaginative faces – where unexpected combinations mean wonderfully weird figures might emerge! Or simply lounge on the leaf floor cushions, have a chat with Kate and take in the scenery!

Perfect for the young, and young at heart!

Born in Hong Kong, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist Kate Beynon builds from the cultural legacy of her familial ancestry and experience to envision hybrid personas, identities, worlds and mythologies that reflect contemporary life. Her paintings, drawings, textiles, wearable art, animations and installations have been widely exhibited and are held in the collections of all major galleries nationally, and she has created commissioned family interactive spaces for the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art. A nine-time Archibald Prize finalist, Kate is represented by Sutton Gallery, Naarm/Melbourne.
