Artist Spotlight on Dina Broadhurst
Posted on June 17 2025

At 55MAX, we’re thrilled to be the exclusive UK gallery showcasing the captivating work of Australian artist Dina Broadhurst. Her art, often described as an “orgy of simplicity,” blends the worlds of fashion, femininity, and luxury into vibrant, thought-provoking pieces that resonate with collectors worldwide.
Who Is Dina Broadhurst?
Dina Broadhurst is a Sydney-based multidisciplinary artist known for her layered, textured, and emotionally evocative pieces. Originally working in interior design and fashion, she transitioned into fine art, bringing her keen eye for aesthetics into her provocative creations. Her work explores themes of desire, identity, and the human form, often combining fragmented imagery with bold colours and metallic finishes.
Dina Broadhurst Creative Process
Broadhurst’s process is as vibrant as her artwork. Her home, a converted Georgian sandstone cottage in Woollahra, doubles as a creative haven where she tests ideas and collaborates with iconic brands — whether it’s vintage photographs, fashion pieces, or the natural beauty of Australia’s landscapes. Her days are a balance of shooting, editing, and experimenting, often incorporating herself into impromptu photoshoots to capture fleeting moments of inspiration. “I love the instant pleasure of freezing a moment,” she says, emphasising her passion for spontaneity and the interplay of light and emotion in her work.
The Allure of Imperfection
Dina Broadhurst’s work is a masterclass in contrasts—sensual yet sophisticated, vulnerable yet defiant, polished yet raw. Her compositions dissect modern femininity through fragmented imagery: a glimpse of skin beneath torn paper, a diamond’s sparkle against a smudged lipstick trace, a mirrored surface reflecting obscured desire. Each piece feels like a whispered confession—a collision of intimacy and artifice that resonates in an era of curated personas.
Beginning with original photography—often her striking self-portraits—Broadhurst deconstructs and rebuilds her images through digital manipulation, hand-torn textures, metallic foils, and even Swarovski crystals.
More Than Decoration: Art with a Voice
Beyond their undeniable aesthetic appeal, Broadhurst’s works provoke conversation. They interrogate consumer culture (“Material Desire” series), explore emotional transparency (“Love Me Tender”), and celebrate the power of self-possession. It’s no surprise her pieces are coveted by collectors and brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Vogue—her visual language speaks to those who see art as both statement and sanctuary.
Elevating Spaces with Meaningful Art
For interiors that demand intrigue, a Broadhurst piece is a revelation. Whether anchoring a minimalist penthouse or energising a creative studio, her art.transforms walls into dialogues. A single work can infuse a room with mystery, confidence, and a touch of the surreal.
