Britt Fazey
Following her sold-out debut solo exhibition in 2025, Britt Fazey returns to Bett Gallery with a new body of work that reinforces her position as a compelling emerging voice in contemporary art.
Continuing her exploration of ancestral connection, exile and belonging, Fazey considers how memory, traditional ecological knowledge and relationships with place shape our sense of identity. Water emerges as a central thread, offering a powerful means of exploring healing, cultural continuity and reconnection.
Based on the South Arm peninsula in southern Lutruwita/Tasmania, emerging artist Britt Fazey is one of three sisters born to a sea loving mother and a seafaring father. Britt has always been a maker of objects of different form and materiality, but in recent years has focussed solely on developing her painting practice, gaining momentum and attracting significant interest from collectors.
Informed by enduring fascination, Britt’s work examines the tension between beauty and brutality within the complex interactions of life, the brief human existence compared to geological timeline and the stories and myths that link the human experience to place. Using compositions drawn from an aquatic bias with historically familiar locations the artist invites the viewer to pause, search and connect with the natural world we share so briefly.
