Clare Milledge (b 1977) lives and works in Warrang/Sydney Cove (AU) on unceded Bidjigal and Gadigal Country.

Distinguished for her hinterglasmalerei paintings—a reverse-glass technique rooted in Byzantine traditions—Milledge engages abstraction, fragmentation, and encryption, creating text-based, geometric and figurative paintings and installations. Using adapted fieldwork methodologies she draws upon and reimagines contemporary environments, cultivating a polymorphic visual language that unsettles conventional structures of knowledge within a shared material lexicon.

Significant exhibitions include: complex notophyll vine-forest: ground-proof, Lismore Regional Gallery (upcoming 2025); From the Other Side, ACCA (2023); Living Patterns: Contemporary Australian Abstraction, QAGOMA (2023); Maluw Adhil Urngu Padanu Mamuy Moesik, IMA, Meanjin/Brisbane (2023); Still Life, Buxton Contemporary (2022); Second Sight: Witchcraft, Ritual, Power, UQ Art Museum (2019); Remedial Works, PICA (2017); Strigiformes: Binocular, Binaural, Museet for Samtidskunst, Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo, NO (2017); What Remains, Fotogalleriet, Oslo, NO (2017); and Dämmerschlaf, Artspace (2016).
