Darwin-based artist Franck Gohier returns to Mitchell Fine Art with his fifth solo exhibition, Australia Has Cowboys Too.
Featuring a new body of work inspired by the iconography of Western comics, films and vintage advertising, the exhibition reimagines the visual language of the American frontier through an Australian lens. Gohier explores themes of national identity, masculinity, colonial legacy and the divide between remote and urban Australia.
Known for his bold graphic style and satirical approach, Gohier’s works draw viewers in with humour and familiarity before revealing deeper reflections on Australian culture and history. Through Australia Has Cowboys Too, he offers a distinctly Australian take on the enduring mythology of the cowboy.
