Del Kathryn Barton was born in Sydney in 1972. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney, in 1993. In 2015, Barton was awarded an Australian Film, Television and Radio School Creative Fellowship, following her directorial debut of “The Nightingale and the Rose” (2015). Barton is a two-time winner of Australia’s most prestigious portrait painting prize, the Archibald Prize (2008, 2013). In 2017, she held her first major retrospective, “The Highway is a Disco” at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. Recent motion works have included her short film “RED” (2016) starring Cate Blanchett, and her first feature length award-winning film “Blaze” (2022).

Apart from her visibility as one Australia’s leading female artists, Barton’s work has been successfully presented in international solo presentations at Albertz Benda, New York (2019) and Los Angeles (2022), in the USA, in addition to curated exhibitions at UNTITLED Miami art fair (2018) and Asia Now Paris art fair in France (2018). Other recent, important solo presentations include: “the women who fell to earth”, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney (2022); “i wanted to build a bed for all the tired beds”, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney (2019); “RED”, The Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide (2017); “Del Kathryn Barton: The Nightingale and the Rose”; The Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne, Australia (2016); “the highway is a disco”, ARNDT Gallery, Singapore (2015); and “of her own nature”, The Pavilion Gallery Cromwell Place, London (2023).

Barton is known for her characteristic expressionism and indelible iconic style. She continues to live and work in Sydney, Gadigal land, Australia.
