'Barbara Hanrahan (1939-1991), who lived between Adelaide, London and Melbourne, was one of Australia's most distinctive artists. Characterised by playfully complex narratives that draw on both personal experience and fantasy, her works are fearlessly direct and unashamedly decorative.

'Bee-stung Lips reproduces more than 100 of Hanrahan's works on paper, while new essays by Nic Brown, Jacqueline Millner and Elspeth Pitt delve into the artist's themes, motivations and motifs, affirming the singularity of Hanrahan's vision and its relevance to our times thirty years after the artist's death in her prime.'
