Saints not Sinners

Mitchell Fine Art presents Saints Not Sinners, a compelling group exhibition showing from 3rd to 28th June 2025, examining the complex relationship between humans and animals often labelled as “feral.”

This thought-provoking exhibition challenges viewers to reconsider assumptions about these creatures. Are these animals truly villains – or are they victims of human displacement and environmental disruption?

‘The exhibition underscores the irony of the situation: the very beings that condemn animals for their disruptive behaviours are often the ones who have created the conditions for such behaviours to emerge’, says Gallery Director Mike Mitchell.

The exhibition features artworks by 2024 Redland Art Prize winner Mirra Whale, Queensland artists David Hayes, Kim Wilson, Peter Hudson, and Jake Moss, expressive animal ceramic sculptures by Sydney-based artist Charlotte Le Brocque, and Aboriginal artworks by Barney Ellaga, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and Sammy Blanasi.

Saints Not Sinners encourages viewers to reflect on their interactions with the natural world – inviting a deeper awareness of the roles we play within it.

‘Ultimately, this exhibition invites us to reconsider our relationship with nature’ adds Mitchell.

Sensory perceptions

Silent Spring

The cancellation of Khaled Sabsabi’s presentation at Venice Biennale signals a long-simmering breakdown of trust between artists and institutions—one that risks threatening the breadth and depth of artistic expression in Australia for generations to come. Dee Jefferson reports.

The balance of tension

At once an exhibition, performance series, and community-led workshops, Push / Pull is an ambitious program that brings together themes and areas of focus that honour the histories of Adelaide Contemporary Experimental as a platform for radical experimentation.
