Mitchell Fine Art Gallery presents Archibald Finalist Mirra Whale’s third solo exhibition ‘Quiet and Still’ from 3rd – 28th September, 2024.Mirra Whale is a Sydney based artist whose artworks explore the formal and conceptual limits of the genre of still life. Within her practice Mirra utlises everyday household objects and presents them from another angle.“This show is a salute to possessions we have in everyday life, from well loved rugs, a matchbox, ginger jar, vases, bowls and flowers,” says Whale. “It is a salute to the act of still life painting, getting lost in the quiet and still.”The works in the show were inspired and created during an artist’s residency at Tweed Regional Gallery where Mirra was surrounded by Margaret Olley’s loved, prized, everyday possessions.

Opening Event: Saturday September 7, from 2:00pm
Mitchell Fine Art is open Monday to Friday 10am – 5.30pm and Saturday 10am – 5pm, with parking available onsite.
