Mitchell English’s paintings radiate a utopian, idyllic depiction of Australian beach life.
Mitch creates custom pieces for private collectors, architects, interior designers and stylists
His talent has garnered attention in esteemed publications such as Vogue Living, belle, InsideOut, Taschen, Home Beautiful, and ELLE Decoration, solidifying his place in the contemporary art scene.“The figures, forms and backgrounds are depicted in a codified and serialised way in which they blur the boundaries between graphic representation and non-objective art. The umbrellas, towels and surfboards act as chromatic punctuation marks and the overall flattened representation gives the images an iconic monumentality.”
Australian artist John Aslanidis
About his work, Mitch says:
"I've always been obsessed with the freedom that you feel when there's nothing between you and the elements but a pair of swimmers.
I'm particularly interested in that at a shared, community, cultural level. In Australia, there is no class divide on our beaches. Privilege and privatism have no role there. Bliss."
