Dylan Sarra was born in the Bundaberg region and belongs to the Gooreng Goreng people. In his first exhibition Sarra invites viewers to explore the deep connection between fire and First Nations culture, as experienced by the artist.

Graduating from the Queensland College of Art in 2022 Sarra focuses on exploring identity and place and has used a range of disciplines such as print, digital, paintings and sculpture to make artwork that connects with people and starts conversations about Indigenous history.

Sarra’s exploration of fire underscores its role in shaping identity and community, celebrating the resilience and ingenuity of First Nations people. In this exhibition viewers are encouraged to reflect on our relationship with fire, heritage and the natural world.

‘This exhibition reflects my personal journey and highlights fire as a powerful tool for transformation and renewal’ says Sarra. ‘Each work captures the knowledge of past generations and highlights the importance of preserving cultural traditions.’

Dylan Sarra is as finalist in this year’s Telstra National Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in Darwin and has been a finalist for the last 3 consecutive years.

It is his aim that people can not only be intrigued by Indigenous culture, but to start to appreciate the role we all play in acknowledging First Nations people.

The exhibition is showing from 29th October – 14th December 2024 at Mitchell Fine Art in Arthur St Fortitude Valley.

An exhibition opening event will be held on Friday 8th November from 6 – 8pm with Dylan in attendance.

The following weekend on Saturday 16th November from 2pm the Gallery will host an Artist Talk with Dylan discussing his ideas and concepts for the exhibition.

All events are free and no rsvp’s are required.

Mitchell Fine Art is located at 86 Arthur St in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. The gallery is open 6 days a week and provides free onsite parking.
