The hottest part of the day, and nowhere better to be. This new work captures that heavy, blissful stillness of a beach afternoon at its peak — all burnt orange sand, lavender heat haze, and a sun sitting high and unapologetic in the sky. 'High Noon' is an original coastal painting by Mitchell English, where a lone figure lies stretched out on a yellow towel, pink striped bikini, thongs tossed to the side — completely surrendered to the warmth. A bold, simplified palette and loose painterly marks give the work a sun-drenched dreaminess that feels at once deeply Australian and timelessly relaxed, continuing Mitch's exploration of the quiet, story-rich moments that make up a life spent near the coast. Acrylic on linen, float framed in Tasmanian oak. 95 × 125 cm. Please note that original works are delivered by courier and carry a $195 shipping fee.
