Installation view: Kathryn Junor - Sou’West Freedom, Cherubino Wines, Willyabrup, 2025.
Cherubino and Linton & Kay Galleries are thrilled to present Kathryn Junor's latest body of work, Sou'West Freedom. This evocative collection captures a deep sense of nostalgia and exploration, inspired by road trips down south. through her distinctive modernist and cubist approach, Kathryn transforms familiar Australian landscapes and moments into geometric shapes and vibrant colours, celebrating the interplay between freedom, adventure, and the spaces that define contemporary Australian life.
“This body of work captures a deep sense of nostalgia and exploration from experiences during many road trips down South in my teens and twenties. The interplay between the beautiful landscapes and the cars, along with the presence of friends, evoke a feeling of freedom and adventure. The incorporation of still life elements to represent the driver and passengers suggest that the journey is not just about the destinations.”
Kathryn's art is a celebration of both the familiar and the fantastical, inviting audiences to engage with iconic Australia and through a modernist lens that is both innovative and deeply personal.
