Prudence Flint

Born on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong/Boon Wurrung Country in Naarm (Melbourne) in 1962, Prudence Flint lives and works in Naarm, Victoria.

Known for her intimate portraits of women depicted in sparse, stylised domestic interiors, Flint’s enigmatic portraits have an air of suspended narrative, where her figures appear to be caught in a moment.

Flint is interested in the relationship between the individual and their possessions, specifically how attempts to understand a subject through their belongings reveal information about the viewer rather than the work itself.

Flint’s measured, contemplative practice finds parallels in the reflective moments captured within her paintings.
