Alongside You explores the quiet complexity of existing in relation to another. Through two interconnected forms, the work considers proximity, connection and the subtle tensions that exist between closeness and individuality.
Painted across two panels, the composition invites the eye to move between the works, where the space separating them becomes as significant as the forms themselves. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, the diptych creates a conversation about presence, exchange and the ways relationships are shaped through both connection and distance.
Executed in acrylic and pencil on Belgian linen, Alongside You reflects an ongoing interest in restraint, materiality and the emotional potential of abstract form.
Artist Bio: Caroline Borghetto is a contemporary abstract artist based in Torquay, Victoria, working primarily in painting. Much of her work emerges from an ongoing interest in proximity and belonging—the experience of being connected to people, places and cultures while never fully occupying their centre.
Through a restrained visual language of layered forms, gesture and spatial relationships, Caroline explores the tensions that exist between connection and separation, familiarity and distance. Working between considered structure and responsive mark-making, her paintings consider how meaning is formed through exchange, negotiation and the spaces that exist between individuals, communities and cultures.
Materiality plays an important role in her practice. Working across clear-primed cotton canvas and Belgian linen, she allows the surface to remain visible beneath translucent layers of paint, graphite and pencil, creating works that balance restraint with emotional weight.
Caroline has been exhibiting since 2022 and has undertaken artist
residencies including the Neighbourhood Lab Residency at Platform Arts in Geelong. Her work has been shortlisted for the Omnia Art Prize and the Hue & Cry Art Prize, and was awarded First Prize in Art Inside the Box, Torquay.
She currently works full-time from her studio within the Ashmore Arts artist community on Wadawurrung Country.
