New work about Florence Broadhurst. This work was motived by International Women’s Day and the recent murder (and response) of Sarah Everard in South London 2020.
I had a daughter living in South East London, so it felt real! While this all sounds gloomy, the painting is not…
In 1977, in Paddington, Sydney, Florence was found dead in her studio. Despite her murder nearly 45 years ago, the Broadhurst case is still a cold case. However, this painting is a celebration of Broadhurst, with symbolism linked to the murder.
Florence Broadhurst was a master of disguise but a talented artisan no matter what she put her mind to. From being a dancer in Shanghai, to Madame Pellier in London or as we know her in Sydney; Florence Broadhurst Wallpaper Designer.
Her story is intriguing and colourful and yet there is this other side to her story through the unsolved cold case. Another female in our society fallen prey and for reasons we can only guess… A woman who was able to live under any guise before Big Brother and has left a legacy of designs for us all to marvel over.
