Art Lovers: – Charcoal Drawing with Mirra Whale
Event description
The King’s School warmly invites you to the Term 4 Art Lover’s event, the fifth and final event for the year – a practical art-making class – Charcoal Drawing with Mirra Whale.
Mirra Whale is a Sydney-based artist who explores everyday ‘banal and commonplace’ subjects and presents them from another angle. Her artworks explore the formal and conceptual limits of the genre of still life.
Mirra has been a finalist of several art prizes, including the Archibald Prize, Kedumba Drawing Award, Hurford Hardwood Portrait Prize, Salon Des Refuses, Portia Geach Portrait Prize, AME Bale Art Prize, Hornsby Art Prize, Mortimore Art Prize and the Manning Gallery Prize. In 2019 Mirra Whale was the winner of the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award (EMSLA) and won the Royal Art Society North Sydney Drawing Prize in 2011.
