BRISBANE.- A group exhibition of Contemporary and Aboriginal artworks highlighting the classic palette of black and white is showing at Mitchell Fine Art in Fortitude Valley from May 3rd.

Showcasing visually striking monochromatic themed paintings, drawings and artefacts, the exhibition celebrates artworks where the spectrum of colour is reduced to a minimum.

Aboriginal artists featured, such as Lily Kelly Napangardi and Kay Rubuntja Napurrula, have seldom deviated from a monochromatic palette in their artistic practice. In contrast, a focal point of the exhibition is a painting by Angelina Ngale from the Utopia region in Central Australia, who has rarely restricted her use of colour in such a way.

The exhibition features an exciting mix of Gallery represented artists including Kim Wilson, Jeff Makin, Min-Woo Bang, Peter Hudson, Carlos Barrios, Margaret Loy Pula, Mirra Whale, David Hayes, Matthew Cheyne and Steve Lopes.

From intricate detail to bold expression, by removing colour, the artworks featured in this exhibit challenge both the artist and the viewer to explore the composition, subject matter, and technique more intently.

The exhibition is showing from 3rd to 28th May 2022. An opening night will be held on Friday 13th May from 6 – 8pm.

Mitchell Fine Art is located at 86 Arthur St in Fortitude Valley Brisbane. The gallery is open 6 days a week: Monday to Friday 10am - 5.30pm and Saturday 10am – 5pm, with onsite parking available.
