Australian artist Ces McCully is from Melbourne and based in Albi in southern France. She completed a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts at Deakin University in 2005. Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Europe and the United States, including Heroes & Villains at PIERMARQ* in Sydney and Suns and Daughters at Rhodes Contemporary Art in London.

McCully’s practice follows two related paths. Text paintings draw attention to the language and self-presentation of an increasingly online culture, while geometric works offer a more pared-back encounter with shape and colour. In the abstract paintings, a restricted set of forms becomes a way to explore rhythm, balance and variation.

30 in G Minor, Somewhere En Route to La La Land and Patchwork III introduce the abstract side of the practice through distinct arrangements of colour and form.
