AUTUMN SOIRÉE – exhibition

MIST GALLERY presents AUTUMN SOIRÉE an exhibition of invited figurative artists exploring human emotion, vulnerability, love, chaos, laughter and everything in between. 

With very special, never before artworks by Mirka Mora.  MIRKA MORA is one of Melbourne’s most revered and treasured artists. Mirka and Georges Mora immigrated from France in 1951. They made an indelible and everlasting impact on Melbourne’s cultural fabric.

Mirka and Georges introduced their European-style dining to 1950s Melbourne, opening The Mirka Café in Exhibition Street, The Balzac in East Melbourne (the first restaurant to receive a 10pm liquor license) and finally The Tolarno French Bistro in St. Kilda in 1967.

Close to John and Sunday Reed, Charles and Barbara Blackman, Barrett Reid, John and Mary Perceval (later to become Lady Nolan), Lawrence Hope, Arthur Boyd, Joy Hester and Albert Tucker, Mirka and Georges were instrumental in the re-establishment of the Contemporary Art Society in 1953, in Melbourne.

Mirka’s passion to create continued and thrived on her arrival in Australia—her work celebrates humanity, life, love and the eternal wonder of the imagination. Mirka’s public artworks have become part of the city. They include the Flinders Street Station mural and St.Kilda pier. Mirka was also the first artist to paint an Art Tram in 1978. 

The exhibition opens Saturday 30 March  at MIST GALLERY, 1B 51 Tweed Coast Rd Cabarita Beach.

Other artists include, Toni Clarke, Peter Berner, Helen Oprey, Kylie Findlay, Laurie Mckern and more.
