BRISBANE.- Mitchell Fine Art in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane presents Monochrome, an exhibition that brings together a powerful collection of Aboriginal and contemporary artworks that resist colour in favour of a black and white narrative.

This striking exhibition is showing from 18th March until 17th April and invites viewers to engage with a range of artistic expressions and interpretations, all created featuring shades of black and white.

Monochrome explores the stark contrast and harmony found in these two colours, showcasing the depth and breadth of artistic practices.

Featuring works from leading Aboriginal artists alongside influential contemporary creatives, this exhibition highlights the power of minimalism in art, where the absence of colour speaks volumes in conveying complex ideas, emotions, and narratives.

The exhibition brings together a diverse selection of works, including intricate dot paintings, bold geometric designs, evocative black-and-white photography, and contemporary mixed-media pieces.

"We are thrilled to present Monochrome, a stunning juxtaposition of both traditional Aboriginal art forms and contemporary expressions, all of which use black and white to tell stories in incredibly nuanced and compelling ways," says Mike Mitchell, Gallery Director.

‘Beyond the individual artists, the exhibition serves as a testament to the versatility and adaptability of a black and white palette in any space’

Each image speaks in the universal language of contrasts - black against white, light against shadow, simplicity against complexity.

The gallery is open 6 days a week from Monday to Friday 10am to 5.30pm and Saturday 10am until 5pm, with onsite parking available.
