    Only a week to go until my show opens at @galleryo Only a week to go until my show opens at @galleryone_art Here’s a little essay extract written by @joeyhespe Like the pressure that forms coal into diamond, the heaviness of a world in turmoil pushed Longhurst forward into new terrain. Followers of her work will recognise the essence and stoic nature of the feminine portrayed in her heroines, however Fighting Spirit conveys less emphasis on symbols of power. Gone are the militarized uniforms and glorified, made up women – instead, Longhurst plays with the idea of silence and vulnerability as indicators of strength. To the artist, the ability to face hardship and adversity with courage and compassion are what defines a strong woman and these paintings are a greater exploration of this belief. #kathrinlonghurst #fightingspirit #painting #australianpainter #femaleartist #australianartist #womenpainter #womensstories #figurativeartist #contemporaryfigurative #artstudio #artistinstudio #workingartist #artiststudio

    2012 Sulman Prize Finalist at the Art Gallery of N 2012 Sulman Prize Finalist at the Art Gallery of NSW. Grenade Girl. Oil on canvas. My friend @its_katemcauley said something very profound the other day. “Productive, guided anger is a force to be reckoned with. When you hit a diseased vein you let it bleeeeeed.” I couldn’t agree more. Use your powers for good. #sundayquote #powerfulwomen #angerquotes #figurativeart #contemporaryart #figurepainting #sulmanprize #artgalleryofnsw @artgalleryofnsw
    My painting of Haya @hacosmicdust, is finalist in My painting of Haya @hacosmicdust, is finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial Award and opens 4th November. She is one of the coolest, bravest and most interesting young women I have met. Here are her words (continued in the comments): Haya arrived in Australia on 2019. It wasn't an easy journey; it took her a lot of traveling. A lot of waiting. A lot of running. A lot of hiding. At some point, it felt like coming to Australia, is something rather impossible. “I don’t want to go into details, but it was horrible, it was the two of us, me and my sister, against stronger powers. I still have nightmares of being sent back, where it's either death or living hell that awaits me. but I'm happy to say that I fought patriarchy. Starting from strict abusive family to a very corrupted system. I'm happy to say that I survived. I'm not just a victim. I'm a survivor. A fighter. And my fight will never end. I will still fight with my writings, hoping that my story will change something, and show the truth" She came alongside with her younger sister, both only 18 and 20 years old, they had hard time to settle in at first, exhausted from the journey and the wounds that it left, they had a lot to overcome, until they find their community and chosen family. Now after two years, Haya is working on her poetry and the book that she's writing about their story. She does ‘live poetry’ from time to time in various venues including The social outfit where she was part of the retail training program. Haya is passionate about human rights, mental health, and social justice, and tries to convey that in her poetry by focusing on refugees and migrant’s issues. Sorrow breadths on The hopeful minds And the hopeful hearts In its wonted hellish Turning every flower Into ash. Sorrow comes again Calling out the pain Of its very existence. But the sun will heal everything Even the roses on your hand Which you drew with blood And fear Soon will turn into sand. The sun, Will heal everything, Even the roses in your heart Which they bleed in passing They soon will dry They soon will die.

    Studio view in two tone. I literally have done no Studio view in two tone. I literally have done nothing different this week out of lockdown to last, haven’t left the house, in the studio all day, still wearing ugg boots. But it feels I accomplished more in a day than in the last 3 months, have spoken to more people than in the entire lockdown. It’s all a mindset isn’t it? #artstudio #artist #workingartist #painter #womenartists #figurativepainting #contemporaryart #kathrinlonghurst #artistworkingon #figurepainting #interior #artcollector #artcurator
