Sex, beauty & the stage

Barbara Hanrahan produced a body of work informed by British and American popular culture of the 1960s and 1970s, a period when she lived predominantly in London (between 1964 and 1977). The ideas conveyed here speak to sexual politics, ideals of beauty, and performance, as they relate to consumer, media and popular culture. Song lyrics and 1950s rock ‘n’ roll icons such as Buddy Holly feature in her work, which plays with the hero and sex symbol status of male rock stars in tandem with sexualised female groupies. In addition to music, Hanrahan was influenced by carnivals from her travel through Mexico and Spain, which saw the inclusion of domino masks (thin masks across the eyes) and mask-like faces in her work. She maintained a curiosity with 19th century circus as evident by imagery of performers such as acrobats, clowns, tightrope walkers, as well as stage-like curtains and arenas in her prints. Hanrahan was also informed by 1970s second wave feminism. She considers the performance of beauty and her compositions parody 1950s newsprint and early 1960s television commercials that promulgate time-consuming beauty routines and ideals for women - for the pleasure of men - to achieve love or social acceptance.

Domestic comforts & anxieties

Ongoing concerns in Barbara Hanrahan’s practice include social expectations for women relating to the institution of marriage and motherhood, as well as the interconnection of family members and cycles of generations. She explores these concepts through imagery that speaks to dreaming and fantasy, as well as memory and memorialisation, in both the private sphere of the mind and intimate domestic spaces of the home. In this way, iconography specific to the home and family feature in her work. Hanrahan’s ancestors and immediate family are often depicted, with a focus on her mother Ronda, father Bob (who died when the artist was one), and grandmother Iris Pearl who was key in raising the artist as a child. Cosy floral curtains, wallpaper, sensual chaise lounges and the awkward marital bed, as well as flourishes of cottage garden flowers and lively domestic animals (birds, cats, chickens and the artist’s childhood dog, Tinker) populate these compositions. Images of family members from different time periods are overlaid with the artist’s school photographs. Escapist mothers fly against a backdrop of 1960s pop songs, while Hanrahan’s grandmother - depicted as a young woman - fantasizes about future and past weddings. In these works the innocence and play of children under the warmth of the sun is rendered in contrast to the anxieties, daydreams and complexities of adulthood.

Becoming plant, becoming animal

An enduring love of the natural world, with a focus on the home garden, is evident in Barbara Hanrahan’s practice. She explores intimate and entangled relations between humans, plants and animals that speak of care for the environment and its inhabitants, as well as the fragility of life. Here, figures are depicted either holding or surrounded by domestic animals - pets, such as cats, dogs and chickens - while birds act as guardians and perch in nests of hair instead of tree branches. Insect fauna including honeybees, butterflies, and dragonflies swarm Earth mother-like characters that embrace and nurture the abundance of nature’s ecosystems. This rich interconnection provides a striking contrast to today’s rapidly declining populations of animal species and habitat loss as a result of anthropogenic climate change and agriculture. Other compositions depict naked women partially transformed into trees, moths and fish, or riding giant roosters, whereas children are situated within gardens that grow giant flora. Many works feature Hanrahan’s ubiquitous sunflower imagery, which reference the poem ‘Ah! Sun-flower’ by the English mystic, poet and artist William Blake (1757–1827). First published in his anthology Songs of experience (1794), the poem alludes to the weariness of mortality and the desire for ‘sweet’ timelessness in the afterlife. The fragility of existence is also conveyed through the metaphor of the ephemeral flower, where figures seem composed entirely of plant material: cottage garden blooms such as zinnia, poppies, star flowers and California fuchsia.

Celestial bodies & the afterlife

Throughout her practice Barbara Hanrahan maintained a fascination with life, death and the world beyond. An ongoing motif, the ‘eye of God’ – an image of a giant eye – which her partner Jo Steele refers to as ‘the feeling of … God’, populates many of the artist’s compositions. Such works are often accompanied by celestial imagery including the sun, moon and stars and reflect Hanrahan’s enduring love of the written and visual works of English mystic, artist and poet William Blake (1757-1827), for whom the ‘eye’s of God’ were ‘Angels of the Divine Presence’. Blake utilised celestial bodies and natural entities symbolically throughout his career to explore the interconnected themes of earthly experience and eternal life. This inspired Hanrahan, who, with the resurgence of a cancer diagnosis in the late 1980s, produced a significant body of work that focused on angels. Angelic beings and other characters represented throughout her work, are at times marked with a sinuous motif between the eyes. This recurring spiritual iconography is comparable with the visual code, ‘WU’, utilised by the mystic and pioneering abstract artist Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) and which for Klint represents the ‘essence of all human spirit’. Another motif for Hanrahan is the recurrent depiction of homely curtains, which for the artist, acts as a portal to what Steele describes as the ‘mystery beyond death’.
