Saint Cloche celebrates a dynamic year in contemporary art with a special Year-End Exhibition presenting three distinct bodies of work by Stacey Rees, Elizabeth Lewis and newly represented Toronto-based artist Celia Lees. Although each artist’s practice is unique, their work moves fluidly between figure, form and atmosphere, evoking emotion through softened edges, tactile surfaces and intuitive colour.

The 2025 Year-End Exhibition brings together three artists whose works contemplate inner shifts, emotional landscapes and imaginative worlds. Presented side by side, these independent bodies of work offer a thoughtful and uplifting moment as Saint Cloche reflects on a dynamic year of creativity and community.

'light again' - Celia Lees

In light again, Toronto-based artist Celia Lees explores the emotional shift that follows the lifting of heaviness. These works capture the moment when colour softens, space expands and clarity returns with renewed depth and calm.

'Algorithm' - Stacey Rees

In Algorithm, Stacey Rees explores the unseen systems that shape contemporary life, the personal codes, gestures and subtle rituals that influence how we move through the world.

Her paintings reflect on the choreography of the everyday, the scroll, the swipe and the curated pause. Rees considers whether our expressions are genuinely our own or quietly shaped by the desire for approval.

'Paradise Lost' - Elizabeth Lewis

Elizabeth Lewis presents Paradise Lost, a series of hand-built vessels inspired by the fantastical world of Hieronymus Bosch. Creatures appear fossilised, eroded or suspended in transformation, as though uncovered from an ancient myth or a forgotten dream.

Developed after six months living in the Netherlands, these works reveal layered colour and raw clay built up across multiple firings.

“At Saint Cloche, we believe in the transformative power of contemporary art. This year-end exhibition brings together exceptional voices from Sydney, Melbourne and Toronto.

Our commitment is to create an accessible and inviting environment where collectors and visitors from all backgrounds can engage confidently with inspiring work.”

Stacey Rees

Working from her bushland studio overlooking the Grampians, Rees draws from photographic references and compositional nuance, informed by artists including Mirka Mora, Yvette Coppersmith and Sidney Nolan. She has been exhibiting since 2002 and was a finalist in the 2020 Percival Portrait Painting Prize.


Celia Lees

Lees creates large scale abstractions that channel lived experience, memory and the physicality of mark making. With a background in design and fashion, she brings a refined sensitivity to materiality, texture and colour. Her work is held in private and commercial collections across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.


Elizabeth Lewis

Lewis has exhibited internationally, completed residencies at Kil.n.it and Guldagergaard in Denmark, and is currently studying at Central Saint Martins. Her practice explores surrealism, ruin and cosmic imagery through meticulous hand building.
