Artist Bio
Kazvyn Yew is a Naarm-based painter. Born and raised in Malaysia, before settling in Melbourne via Thailand and Sydney, Yew works primarily with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas. By combining vibrant palettes with expressive mark-making, Yew creates whimsical figures and environments that invite curiosity through a lens of cheeky, child-like wonder and playfulness.
Artist Statement
This work captures the radiant energy of the Australian summer through vivid and expressive sun-soaked colour. Painted with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, the work depicts three figures imagined as 'children of the sun', basking beneath an expansive blue sky. The word sun is written repeatedly across the sky, inviting viewers to imagine the many forms of sun they may encounter - sometimes harsh, or playful, but also at times, comforting and restorative.
Yew hopes to encourage a pause from the haze of daily routine, framing Summer as a moment of photosynthesis for the audience, a time to recharge, to play, and to reset for the year ahead.
