Kate Banazi is a multi media artist working on Gadigal Land, Sydney, Australia. London born, she studied at Central St Martins graduating with a BA (hons) in Menswear design where she created a bespoke small label before moving to Australia in 2006.

She was brought up in a multicultural creative family whose crafts of typography and sign writing, fashion, architecture and photography remain a strong influence.

Kates primary practice is printmaking and sculpture, drawing on her experience of working with fabric and pattern cutting and her interest in the body with the construction of a strong graphic visual language that challenges representations of the human form. She is interested in the spaces where art and design collide and in elevating the profile of printmaking as a craft which can be used as experimental art medium, making one of a kind silkscreen prints as well as variable editions. Her work has been included in public spaces from digital animated projections on the William Jolly Bridge, Brisbane to a permanent 30 metre sculpture in Sydney.

Kate has exhibited in the Milan, London, Sydney and Melbourne Design Fairs, collaborated with brands and designers such as Qantas, COS, Dion Lee and Nike as well as being finalist in the Ravenswood Art Prize and the Omnia Art Prize.

Her work has been featured in publications including Vogue Living, Arts Edit, SixtySix, Wallpaper magazine, Nowness and is included in ’Silkscreen masters- Secrets of the worlds top screen printers’.

In 2024, she has shown at PhotoLondon Art fair Somerset House, Melbourne Design Week and has a solo show at Curatorial&Co Sydney in August.

I live and work on Australian First Nations land and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, past, present and future : the Gadigal people of the Eora nation.
