Mimi Fairall is a multi-disciplinary artist who primarily works from Sydney, Canberra and the South Coast of NSW, Australia.
Her work is a fluid and process based practice centred around drawing, printmaking, painting, installation and murals. She also facilitates and participates in collaborative community projects, workshops and assisting established street artists with large scale works.
Vibrant and playful, Mimi’s compositions are made up of organic shapes, gestural marks and fields of competing colour. She oscillates between figuration and abstraction, emphasising spontaneity over detailed representation. Her cheerful, childlike works are testaments to her ongoing experimentations with materials and surface texture.
Each piece is informed by sensory experiences from her everyday life – interesting textures, lights, smells, patterns or sounds. Her observations generate an intuitive and uninhibited response that lead into her making process, free of expectation or desire for a specific outcome.
