Chantal de Kock

Chantal is an Australian artist who grew up in many outback and small country towns throughout Australia in an era where outdoor play was the mode of life.

She now calls the Gippsland region with its beautiful natural landscapes home.

Chantal is interested in how we live on the earth in a way that reduces our impact and cares about this in both her work practices and the way she lives.

Chantal often uses natural ochres and pigments that are native to the places that hold deep meaning for her.

Chantal believes we are of nature and as such should work to live in harmony with it. In it and of it rather than trying to control it. By using loose gestural marks she hopes to convey this sense of letting go of control and allowing ourselves to be within the cycles and imperfect systems of nature.
