Paint and Plush

Madeleine Cruise is an emerging artist who creates sensational objects and abstract images that explore emotional experience in contemporary life. Driven by a desire to make complex situations tangible, her work investigates such themes as sexuality, relationships and social status, within a personal and broader social context. In a creative process that explores material equivalents between painting and sculpture, Madeleine creates immersive sensual and tactile environments for contemplation.

On show at Modern Times

This month in Melbourne, Modern Times ( moderntimes.com.au/) has installed a new collection of my work in their beautiful home and design store. Six new large abstract works have joined the floor and have been custom framed (by my talented Father) in waxed Tasmanian Oak. It is very exciting to see the pieces alongside some exquisite vintage Danish furnishings which marry beautifully with the timber framing and the soft organic forms and palette of the works. With me are other talented Australian artists such as Billie Justice Thompson and Tom Blachford (pic below).
