Born in Alice Springs in 1997, Young Hogan was raised in the remote community of Kalka, nestled amongst the foothills of the Tomkinson Range in the northwestern reaches of South Australia’s APY Lands.
Hailing from a lineage of renowned painters including Carol Young and Nyayati Stanley Young, Cassaria Young Hogan is an emerging artist of remarkable mettle.
Young Hogan’s work is characterised by her bold and writhing iconography, depicting bush trips with extended family – gathering maku (witchetty grub) and tjala (honey ant) and harvesting wood from punu (trees).
The young artist’s signature use of negative space evokes a vibrant inner world, where creatures and symbols dance across the plane of memory in a hypnotic tango of traditional and contemporary mark making.
