Paintings are based on imagery from my own family photo album, historical photographs as well as re-enactments. Ausflug depicts me as a young child on one of our many Sunday strolls to the Soviet War Memorial in East Berlin. 5000 fallen soldiers are said to be buried here. The main monument of the Memorial is a sculpture of a Soviet solder holding a child in his arms whilst crushing a swastika with his sword. The show opens 13th May at Nanda Hobbs in Sydney. #contemporarypainting #contemporaryfigurativeart #nandahobbs #kathrinlonghurst #figurativerealism #figurativepainting #art #artist #artdaily #painting #paint #oilonpanel #portraitpainting #contemporaryartwork #artcollecting #abstraction #malerei #kunstwerk

The show explores the imperfect recall of memory and how we are conditioned by early childhood experiences. I am using elements of photographic techniques such as light leaks and lenses flares to illustrate nostalgia and the recollection of important moments in life that often have an emotional intensity.

    “Indoctrinated” is the name of my upcoming sol “Indoctrinated” is the name of my upcoming solo show which opens at Nanda and Hobbs in Sydney on the 13th May. It explores different aspects of my childhood growing up in Communist East Berlin from Civil Defence Education in primary school, extreme militarisation of everyday life, censorship, marching songs for children, the ever present Secret police to holidays in government run holiday homes. It is a very personal show with imagery taken from family photo albums, historical images and re-enactments warped into semi abstraction. I cannot wait to share this body of work with you. I hope I will see you at the opening. I have a special playlist of marching songs prepared for you. If you’re interested in previewing any paintings please get in touch with the gallery. ❤️K #kathrinlonghurst #propagandaart #contemporaryart #contemporaryfigurative #eastberlin #behindthewall #modernart #art #kunst #kunstwerk #konst #arte #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artcollector
