Kate Stewart is a Naarm/Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist working across material experimentation, expanded painting, and installation. Her practice explores ideas of destabilisation, dissonance, and disruption, reconfiguring the formal language of Minimalism through a New Materialist, diffractive lens. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from RMIT University.
Recent exhibitions include Intermission (2025) at Five Walls Gallery, The Murmuring (2024), a solo show at Rubicon ARI; the RMIT MFA Graduate Exhibition, where she was awarded the Five Walls Graduate Prize; and The Weather, part of the Tropical Lab international residency at La Salle College of the Arts, Singapore (2024). Her work has also featured in group exhibitions at Lon Gallery and HAIR ARI, Melbourne.
Stewart’s work has received several awards, including the Fiona Myer Award for Painting (VCA) and the Linden New Art Henry Award for Abstraction (2021). She has been a finalist in national prizes including the Ravenswood Art Prize, Fisher’s Ghost Art Award, and the Castlemaine Experimental Print Prize.
