Jo Moloney is an Australian artist based in Melbourne. Her hard-edged geometric abstractions reflect on the legacy of twentieth-century modernist traditions—part art history, part imagined history—where she reworks utopic and universal formations into discreet, obsessive, and often deeply personal paintings.

Jo has a background in commercial photography, where her eye for composition and technical acuity led her to work on film and television sets as a unit stills photographer. Her photographs have been featured in Marie Claire magazine, formed the backbone of marketing campaigns for Australian artists and bands, and have been published in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Vault, and Island magazine.

Her work The Outsider was selected as a finalist in the 2022 Waverley Art Prize, and eight of her works were included in the curated exhibition Less is More at Art Lovers Australia Gallery. In March 2023, she presented a solo exhibition of new works inspired by designer Mary Quant at Five Walls, Footscray. In 2024, she participated in BLUETHUMB – The Art of Inspiration Exhibition, which ran from May 25th to June 26th at Bluethumb’s Melbourne Gallery.

Jo has completed several commissions for private collectors, as well as a commission for the new hotel Lansen Place Parliamentary Gardens in 2023. Her work Gernreich’s Muse was acquired by Justin Art House Museum (JAHM) in 2023 and exhibited from February to September 2024.
