Restless Legs

Mitch Cairns’ striking paintings take inspiration from the world outside the Sydney artist’s inner-city studio, from nature and the built environment to the working lives of the people around him. They are immediately recognisable for their stylised imagery, refined brushwork and a restricted colour palette. Well-known as a portrait painter, having won the Archibald Prize in 2017, this exhibition reveals the full breadth of his practice and the diversity of his influences.
