December exhibition opens today at @galleryone_art including works from my “Dystopia” series.
Absolute Rule, 2024, oil and mixed media on linen, 182x182cm

From the catalogue :
Furthermore we see paintings that show abstract flags and shadowy crowds, suggesting moments of social and political tension, perhaps a May Day demonstration or a populist rally, where extreme rhetoric stirs unrest. In these scenes, Longhurst addresses how easily rights fought for over generations can be swept away, especially impacting women and marginalised communities as societal divides deepen.

A few behind the scenes images from my first sculptures. It’s been a long journey but so worthwhile.
From my artist statement:
The series presents bronze figures of female fighters, their forms darkened by a ferric nitrate patina, standing atop industrial, brutalist metal plinths. These figures—a nod to Longhurst’s earlier heroines—represent freedom fighters, agitators, and survivors. We meet once again familiar personas like Flag Girl, Grenade Girl, and Pilot Girl, now re-imagined in a darker tone, as beacons of resistance and reminders of vulnerability.

Cacotopia, 2024, oil and mixed media on linen, 182

Cacotopia, 2024, oil and mixed media on linen, 182x182cm
Cacotopia is part of a body of work called Dystopia and will be shown at @galleryone_art starting next week

About the works:
In Dystopia, Longhurst’s latest series, she confronts the personal and global anxieties that shape her view of an uncertain future. Through a stark palette and raw, uncompromising forms, she explores themes of resilience and disillusionment, evoking a world on the brink of collapse.
In Cacotopia (see above), the background reveals a dystopian landscape ravaged by war or environmental collapse, evoking the grim worlds of Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World. Here, a young, fragile woman in military uniform is poignantly juxtaposed against the scene’s desolation, underscoring themes of vulnerability amidst catastrophe.

Posted @withregram • @romero_centre 🎉 AUCTION PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that ‘Respect’, generously donated by renowned Australian artist @kathrinlonghurst, will be auctioned off at our upcoming Oscar Romero Awards Ceremony in support of the Romero Centre!

Kathrin Longhurst is a multi-time Archibald Prize finalist whose work draws inspiration from her early life in East Germany. She takes a deep interest in the journeys of other women, and seeks to foreground the importance of their struggles in her work, with a view to avoiding the repetition of past mistakes. Her commitment to asylum seeker justice is evident in her contributions to the Settled/Unsettled exhibition, which explores migrant and refugee experiences. Kathrin won the Archibald Packing Room Prize in 2022 with a stunning portrait of Kate Ceberano and was recently announced as a finalist in the 2024 Portia Geach Memorial Award.

Get your tickets now at the link in bio!
