Uprising

‘Uprising’

This painting is inspired by living in the Northern Territory, the first region in Australia to lift lockdown restrictions due to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
In this form of ‘uprising’, it means Territorians can go to the pub and enjoy a beverage without restrictions (other than social distancing), and watch the refreshing bubbles rise up with a new sense of freedom.

However, in the USA it is a time of uprising. A time of civil unrest, rioting and anger from the death of George Floyd, an African American, at the hands of police officers. These protests, under the banner of Black Lives Matter has spread across the USA and is now a world-wide protest movement.

With the lyrics:

“…They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious…”

It was fitting to name my painting after the Muse song of the same name.

This work is painted on a gallery wrapped canvas and has been sealed with varnish, comes ready to hang and with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Kerry Sandhu Art: Inspired Art from the Heart

I'm Kerry Sandhu, a self-taught acrylic and mixed-media artist with a passion for bringing vibrant, heartfelt art to life. Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, I made a big move to Darwin in January 2020—a change that opened my world to new colours, stories, and inspiration.

My creativity is fuelled by the world around me: nature, spirit, life, music, and lyrics all weave their way into my artistic process. Much like my eclectic taste in music, my style is ever-evolving—bold, expressive, and deeply intuitive.

I create ‘inspired art from the heart,’ spanning a wide range of themes. Each piece captures a moment of emotion, a spark of spirit, or a story waiting to be told. My work celebrates vibrant colour, texture, and the beauty found in life’s smallest details, with each brushstroke reflecting my inner world.

Painting is not just what I do—it’s who I am. Through my art, I aim to touch hearts, inspire minds, ignite passions, and evoke deep emotion.

Every ANZAC Day (since 2016), I paint an original artwork to honour the fallen service men, women and animals, acknowledging their courage, sacrifice, and the ultimate price paid for our freedom.
LEST WE FORGET.

My mantra is simple and true:
“Art is like people, no two are the same.
Each person has their own destiny, and art will always find its destiny too.”
