Her work sits in corporate and private collections across Australia and internationally, and she has been profiled in Vogue Living, The Design Files, and Yellowtrace three of the most respected design and art publications in the country. Rees is represented by Saint Cloche Gallery, Sydney, and was most recently a finalist in both the Percival Portrait Prize and the Lester Portrait Prize, two of Australia's most significant portrait awards.
Her practice centres on contemporary abstraction bold, considered compositions that hold emotional weight without over-explaining themselves. The work rewards time spent with it. Stand in front of a Stacey Rees painting long enough and you feel the decisions behind it.
About 'Red'
'Red' is one of the most immediately striking pieces in The Island Collective's curated art collection. The title does exactly what it promises. The work is direct, confident, and built around a color that refuses to recede into the background. It commands the room it occupies without competing with the space around it. 'Red' hangs at The Tempo in Sandy Bay, Hobart. The Island Collective's most personality-driven property. The work sits naturally alongside The Tempo's bold interiors, vinyl collection, and courtyard hot tub. It is the kind of piece that makes guests stop on their way through a room.
Experience 'Red' During Your Stay
The only way to fully experience 'Red' is in person. Book The Tempo to stay with the work a boutique Sandy Bay apartment five minutes from Hobart CBD and the Salamanca Market.
