Mirra Whale

Mirra Whale’s work explores the formal and conceptual limits of the genre of still life painting. She aims to celebrate ‘unsophisticated’ subject matter and the undisturbed simplicity of the common place, finding beauty in the nuances of the familiar.

She is a five-time finalist in the Archibald Prize and the winner of the EMSLA Still Life Award, yet she prefers the quiet seclusion of her home studio to the limelight. This exhibition is a rare chance to shine this light on an incredibly deserving artist.
