Madeline Young creates intuitive abstract paintings that respond to emotion, memory, and the shifting rhythms of the Australian landscape. Working with brushes, palette knives, rollers, and unconventional tools, she builds layered surfaces of texture, pattern, and gesture. Her dreamlike palettes - soft pinks, muted greens, earthy browns, and shifting blues - act as an emotional language, recording seasons, experiences, and states of being. Rather than depicting place, her work distills its presence, offering contemplative spaces where time, landscape, and feeling converge. Madeline is an Australian abstract artist based in Orange, NSW, on Wiradjuri Country. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Newcastle (2009) and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia. Since 2014, she has also been Curator and Director of The Corner Store Gallery, an independent space dedicated to supporting and showcasing emerging contemporary artists.
About the Artist
Colourful, textural abstract paintings. Madeline Young is a contemporary abstract artist living and working in Orange, NSW on Wiradjuri Country. Her practice explores colour, texture, and intuitive mark-making, resulting in expressive, layered works that celebrate movement, energy, and emotion. Madeline holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Newcastle (2009) and has exhibited widely across Australia over the past decade in both solo and group exhibitions. Alongside her vibrant studio practice, she is also the Curator and Gallery Director of The Corner Store Gallery, a role that continues to inspire and inform her own creative process. Inspired by her young son’s innocent and instinctive mark-making, Madeline’s latest work embarks on a vibrant journey into pure abstraction. Colour takes center stage, subtly shifting with the seasons and reflecting her emotions. Texture and composition are equally essential, weaving layers of various mediums and materials to create rich depth and a sense of history in each piece.
