Chara Meredith (b. 1984, Meanjin/Brisbane) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist whose practice explores the contemplative potential of colour, rhythm, and repetition through acrylic painting.

She builds layers of colour before adding small, rhythmic marks across the surface, a slow, intentional and deeply felt process. The paintings can be dark, light or intensely colourful, but what she is always reaching for is something beneath the surface, that which is difficult to name.

The works are created for people who are on their own inner journey. People who pause. People who look twice. Her hope is that something in these paintings keeps pulling you back, and that each time you return, you find something you didn't see before.
