Mainly self taught in the art of silk screen printing her work is experimental, intuitive and often playful, with bold colour and graphic elements a key reference. Science, space travel and colour theory hold great interest and are often referenced in her work.

Kate celebrates the subtle variations of serigraph printing, exploring the layering of colour and graphic elements alongside linear grid structures and hand drawn forms.

Kate's current work explores relationships, identity, movement, shadows and colour, interlocking shapes held together lightly but ready to fall apart. Negative space and line work map chaos, voids and then beauty -  A reflection of every day life in all its unpredictable glory.

By embracing the flaws in the screen - the silkscreens are un-retouched, pinholes and marks which normally would be repaired, are accepted and celebrated, contrary to the idea of silkscreen printing as a facsimile process

Kate's current work is a collection of original works on paper, canvas and perspex alongside small limited edition runs. 

Kate has exhibited in group and solo shows Internationally and her work is collected and commissioned by private, public and corporate clients Internationally. 

Kate Banazi's work is hand printed by her, in Sydney.
