Kate Beynon
Kate Beynon is a Melbourne-based artist. Beynon's work employs the written word to explore issues of immigration, racism and cultural identity, melding graffiti, calligraphy, cartoons, drawing, painting, and digital photography. She was born in Hong Kong to a Chinese mother and settled in Australia as a child - subsequently her work is underscored by an interest in the subtle ways language is used to encapsulate difference. Since completing a BFA at the Victorian College of the Arts in 1993, Beynon has shown at the National Gallery of Australia; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; all State Art Galleries [as part of the Moet+Chandon Touring Exhibition]; Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Contemporary Art Centre of Virginia, USA.
