Darwin artist Franck Gohier returns to Mitchell Fine Art with his fifth solo exhibition, Australia Has Cowboys Too. This new body of work is inspired by the iconography of Western comics, films, and vintage advertising.

Reimagining the visual language of the American frontier within an Australian context, Franck explores themes of national identity, masculinity, colonial legacy and the divide between remote and urban Australia. Known for his bold graphic compositions and satirical edge, Australia Has Cowboys Too offers a distinctly Australian take on the enduring cowboy myth.

A practicing artist since 1987, Franck’s artworks have been acquired by Artbank, the Australian National Gallery Canberra, Gold Coast Art Gallery, Griffith University and the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney.

Join the opening event artist talk on Saturday June 20 from 3:00–5:00 pm.
