Artist Michelle Mildenhall presents her most ambitious and personal exhibition to date: SIXTY NINE— a retrospective celebrating 15 years of provocative, and empowering art.

Bringing together 69 pieces for the very first time, this landmark show offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of her highly distinctive style, one that explores fetish subcultures and sexual identity through a lens that is playful, powerful, and deeply personal.

Known for her signature technique, layering cut sheet latex to create striking, pop-art inspired portraits, Michelle’s work draws influence from a broad range of sexual fetishes including rubber fetishism, BDSM, and sexual objectification, using these themes to challenge ideas around desire, dominance, and subversion. With a graphic pop art edge, her portraits transform familiar and iconic faces, as well as original characters into figures of empowerment, intrigue and humour.

SIXTY NINE is the largest exhibition of Michelle’s work to date and marks a key moment in her creative journey. From her earliest latex portraits to new, never-before-seen pieces, the exhibition forms a compelling visual narrative, revealing the influences, stories, and personal experiences that have shaped her voice as an artist.

Opening Night Event:
Join Michelle for the opening night of SIXTY NINE, where guests are invited to embrace the spirit of the show with fetish attire. Dressing up is encouraged but not obligatory, however, those who go all out, could be rewarded. The best-dressed guest will win a free print of their choice. Two runners-up will each receive a limited edition print of SUSPENSE, Michelle’s new art work featured on the exhibition poster.
