‘Still Life & Wild Things’
9 – 20 October 2024
@14 Langridge, in Collingwood Melbourne
OPENING EVENT: Saturday 12 October, from 2 - 4pm.
Mitchell Fine Art presents a two week pop up exhibition featuring Contemporary artists Mirra Whale and Peter Hudson at @14 Langridge, in Collingwood Melbourne.
Mirra Whale is a Sydney based artist whose artworks explore the formal and conceptual limits of the genre of still life.
Whale explores every day, 'banal and commonplace' subjects and presents them from another angle, paying homage to the quiet beauty found in the act of still life painting and the everchanging relationship between shape, colour and form.
Mirra Whale has won the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award (EMSLA) and has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize, Salon Des Refuses, Portia Geach Portrait Prize and the AME Bale Art Prize.
Queensland artist Peter Hudson draws largely on contemporary Australian history for inspiration in his art and mark making.
Hudson has been particularly influenced by and has a keen interest in Aboriginal Australia post colonisation. Regular painting trips and sketching ‘en-plein air’ form an integral part of his art-making process in capturing the essence of the landscape.
Peter Hudson exhibits regularly, has won several regional art prizes. His portrait of Paul Kelly was a finalist in the Archibald Prize, and he is represented in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, Parliament House in Brisbane and the Warrnambool Art Gallery Collection, VIC.
‘Still Life & Wild Things’ is on display from 9 – 20 October at @14 Gallery, 14 Langridge St in Collingwood, Melbourne.
The exhibition is open 7 days a week from 11am until 6pm.
