Benjamin Hogarth – You Betta Work
About me:
Hi, my name is Benny and I’m a 29 year old emerging artist, who lives in Surryhills, Sydney.
From a very young age I was always intrigued and fascinated with art. I would always sketch on a piece of paper or within a book. It wasn’t really until I hit high school that my passion really grew and evolved. Visual arts was always my favourite class, I took my art book to and from school most days showing my teacher what I had created the night before. One thing my art teacher had always said ‘you really should continue this after school, you have the knack for it, you’re passionate and it’s something you enjoy’. Now, in my adult life, it’s something that I do most days, whether it’s drawing or painting or even thinking about different concepts for new art works.
Exhibition
Title: You ‘Betta’ Work.
Betta Splendens or commonly known as the Siamese Fighting Fish are native to Thailand. These fish can typically reside in shallow pools, rice paddies and shallow moving streams. The Betta fish have a very special labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe atmospheric air directly from the waters surface. Because of this Betta fish can live in thrive in different environments and adapt to their conditions. Later after the species were found they were renamed to their commonly known name now “Betta Spelendens’ which roughly translate to ‘beautiful warrior’. For the last 2 years, I have been working to create a collection of art works which focus on the beautiful details of Betta Fish whilst being dedicated to my full time career, gym training, maintaining a social life, going on adventures and just living in the moment. This time has shown me that everyone can adapt to the environment they are placed in, where they can thrive and flourish in their own way, to which everything turns out beautiful in the end.

CAFUNE – EVAN COOPER 10-16 NOVEMBER 2025 12-6PM – OPENING NIGHT TUES 11 NOV 7-9PM

“Cafuné” is a word of Brazilian Portuguese origin, meaning to gently run your fingers through someone’s hair.
While society has lost many of the restrictive views of sex between consenting adults, sometimes we have lost the ability to find simple affection between people we care about.
Physical contact has been shown to have healing qualities. In hospitals there are programs called “cuddle mums”, where people (they don’t have to be women) hold or cuddle premature babies, if their own family are unable to. Human contact can help a newborn thrive in a way that simple medical intervention and care cannot.
In most cities there are clubs or locations that can easily facilitate sexual activity, but the same cannot be said for finding a person to give you a hug when you need it. There are apps where you can connect with someone to come to your home to f&%K, but none exist that help you connect with a person to snuggle on the couch, eating popcorn and binge watching.
These works explore the healing power of affection and the importance of physical contact with no hidden agenda – other than to let people know that they are important just as they are.
The exhibition will run from 10th – 16th November, open 12-6pm each day.
Opening night will be on Tuesday, 11 November, from 7-9pm.
In conjunction with hEAd oN Photo Festival.
