Chris Casali is an accomplished Australian artist whose work is deeply rooted in abstract expressionism. Her paintings and drawings explore the dynamic interplay between the external world and the internal self, characterised by intricate details and expressive gestures. Casali's art often evokes natural forms and landscapes, reflecting themes of ecological change and human impact.

Her practice is deeply personal, shaped by experiences and memories, navigating the conscious and subconscious. With a profound understanding of paint's materiality, her works evolve over time, balancing tension within abstract marks until forms emerge. This meticulous attention to detail is a hallmark of her practice.

Casali's process suggests a meditative withdrawal from the world, employing emotional and intuitive practices that invite viewers to engage deeply with her art.

In addition to her artistic practice, Casali has had an extensive career in arts education, management and community engagement, holds a Master of Fine Art from the University of New South Wales and has exhibited her work internationally and nationally. Her work is held in public and private collections in Australia and abroad, including: the Paper and Watermark Museum, Fabriano, Italy; the Kedumba Collection of Drawings; the Macquarie Group Collection; and the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Collection.

Through these themes and her extensive background, Chris Casali's art offers a rich tapestry of visual and emotional experiences, making her a distinctive voice in the contemporary art world.
