{"text":"Seasoned collectors and people just starting to look at art seriously are all welcome here. There's onsite parking, which helps. What sets the place apart is that it doesn't try to be intimidating. The focus is on the work itself and the artists behind it, and the staff aim to make fine art genuinely accessible without compromising on quality or care.

Contemporary, Aboriginal and Indigenous Art at Mitchell Fine Art

Mitchell Fine Art represents over twenty contemporary and Aboriginal artists working in abstract, figurative, landscape and portraiture. The gallery shows established names like Bernard Ollis OAM, Peter Hudson and Franck Gohier alongside newer artists including Sophie Cape, Mirra Whale and Dylan Sarra. Several of the artists they work with have picked up serious recognition lately. Kim Wilson, Matthew Cheyne and Mirra Whale made the shortlist for the 2026 Stanthorpe Art Prize, while Min-Woo Bang got into the 2026 Tattersall's Club Landscape Art Prize.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander work sits at the centre of what Mitchell Fine Art does. The stockroom holds a proper collection of bark paintings and artefacts that speak to First Nations creativity and cultural practice going back generations, but the gallery also makes space for what Indigenous artists are making now. You'll see sculpture and ceramics throughout the space as well. Three-dimensional pieces sit alongside paintings, which gives collectors and people decorating their homes more to choose from.
