Emmanuelle McGlade is an artist based on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, Victoria, Australia. Her practice explores the interplay between order and imbalance, using these contrasting concepts to evoke a sense of stillness and clarity. Drawing from observations of the natural world, her work incorporates repetitive structures that generate a meditative yet dynamic energy, inviting both contemplation and reflection. Emmanuelle graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Art), specialising in drawing and printmaking, from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2016.

‘Bruges / Brugge’ is a contemplative series shaped by fleeting observations, quiet reflections, and lived experiences during McGlade’s time spent in the medieval town of Bruges, in West Flanders, Belgium.

Inspired by the city’s distinctive architecture, material textures, and layered history, these paintings explore meditative, structured compositions that highlight rhythm, tactility, and the slow unfolding of time. Through restrained forms and muted contrasts, each work evokes a sense of harmony in simplicity, inviting moments of visual stillness and introspection.
