Vietta Korren-Steele
Ongoing research and experimentation have played a crucial part in Vietta Korren Steele's development through reductionist methods of colour and form.
Important in this process has been the deployment of chance, both in her choice of materials and as a compositional device. She plays between structure and spontaneity and stops at that point when a calm tension in the work is achieved; a sense of trust is reached.

2024 Dissolving Shifts
In Dissolving Shifts, Vietta Korren-Steele's signature trailing lines navigate underlying geometric forms and organic textures, tracing a delicate balance between control and spontaneity.
In this series the use of colour is pared back considerably compared to Korren-Steele's previous works. The result is a foregrounding of subtle variations in opacity and transparency, responding to the weight of lines produced by the pressure of brushes and applicators.
2021 Intersecting Shifts
Ongoing research and experimentation have played a crucial part in Vietta Korren Steele's artistic development through reductionist methods of colour and form.
Important in this process has been the deployment of chance, both in her choice of materials and as a compositional device. Korren Steele plays between structure and spontaneity and stop at the point when a calm tension in the work is achieved: a sense of trust is reached.
2019 TrACTION
Important in this process has been the deployment of chance, both in her choice of materials and as a compositional device. She plays between structure and spontaneity and stops at that point when a calm tension in the work is achieved; a sense of trust is reached.
Vietta Korren-Steele’s practice draws inspiration from organic and industrial forms, informed by her upbringing in Victoria’s Mallee region and subsequent relocation to Melbourne.
