Kate Beynon has been selected for the Portia Geach Memorial Award 2024, Australia’s most prestigious art prize for portraiture by women artists.
Beynon’s portrait, entitled Shapeshifters (Supernatural Self & Fam Spirits) (2024) depicts the artist alongside supernatural portrayals of her creative family. Imaged in a violet dreamscape surrounded by vibrant botanical motifs and guardian spirit, the portrait encapsulates the artist’s longstanding enquiry into the hybridity and latency of identity.
