Born in Australia, lives and works in Brisbane.
Alethea Richter’s practice is an evolving response to our post-digital age. Often using pixel-like marks as devices to investigate optical noise, digital fluidity, and perceptual instability. In her work, the silkscreen process anchors the colour, light, movement, and geometric patterning of the electronic screen to the printed surface. These ephemeral qualities become physical and tangible, exploring a changing sense of materiality in the contemporary image.
In 2023, Alethea was awarded the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Emerging Artist Prize and selected for the Print Council of Australia 2023 Print Commission. She was awarded in 2022 with the Grey Hand Press Internship Award and was a nominee for the Iain Turnbull Memorial Prize in 2021.
Alethea has been selected for multiple group exhibitions including Disruption International Printmaking Exchange 2023, Megalo Print Studios (Canberra) Future Proof National Graduate Online Print Exhibition 2022, and the Highpoint Centre for Print International Juried Print Exhibition Stand Out Prints 2022 and 2024, Minneapolis.
