Kate Beynon’s portrait Rali & The Spirits (2025) has been selected for the Salon des Refusés at the S.H. Ervin Gallery.
This “supernatural” portrait of the artist’s son Rali Beynon figures the Naarm-based emerging artist/animator Rali–known for his distinctive style and animated projection art–alongside two canine guardians. Appearing amongst symbolic elements—collaborative Mask Spirit figures, protective eyes, Snake Year motifs, a Black Power pin on Rali’s favourite jacket—Beynon draws upon upon signs and emblems from history to construct dynamic, transitional images that centre familial connections and exchange.
