Madeleine Peters (b. 1990, Portland VIC) is a Naarm/Melbourne based artist who holds a BFA(Hons) from the VCA, awarded in 2023. Her paintings consider connections between images and time, doubt and longing. Drawing from found photographs, personal archives, or historical paintings, her paintings trace a desire to see something. The source material becomes a placeholder for an unreachable image or an unrealized idea. Latent personal or historical accounts frequently steer the work. Recent exhibitions include Piece by Piece (2024) at Sutton Gallery, Melbourne, Catherine’s Handstand (2022) at Warrnambool Art Gallery, and Nurse Ogilvie’s Bed Sheets (2021) at Egg & Dart, Thirroul NSW.
