SPACE 2 : DAMIEN MITCHELL

Opening Reception : Wed 2 April 2025, 6:00 - 8:30 pm

As an artist specializing in large-scale, realistic public artworks, I’ve spent years transforming walls using vibrant murals. This exhibition marks a point in my creative journey, bringing the techniques and tools learned thus-far outdoors, into a gallery setting.

Every piece in this show is created entirely with spray cans, a medium I’ve utilized on many large-scale projects around the world. Spray paint allows me to merge precision with spontaneity, layering texture and detail using the chaotic nature of aerosol.

In this collection, I explore spaces without people, portraits without space around them and discarded objects painted gold. Although created without an expressed theme, I felt a unified aesthetic emerged of a decaying world, people hidden behind masks and a search for beauty in the discarded. All work was produced between March 2024 and April 2025
