It's been two years since Del Kathryn Barton won the Archibald Prize for her self portrait, You are what is most beautiful about me, a self portrait with Kell and Arella. Since then Barton has largely remained out of the gallery, focusing instead on her upcoming exhibition.
Beginning this Friday at Kaliman Gallery is The Stars Eat Your Body, which includes the artist's most ambitious project to date - a four panel dreamscape that covers the entire width of the gallery space. Along with this polyptych is a series of portraits that articulate the masculine form through Barton's personal mythology.
Despite the sheer scale of her latest work, Barton has retained her atomical detail. Each portrait is filled with minute details that transform the human face into a topographical map of the distance each character has travelled. Expect to be transported by this series of portraits that turns the familiarly human into the foreign.
