Mitchell Fenton Exhibition

In this captivating series of new diptychs, Fenton invites viewers into a world where vintage charm meets contemporary action. The imagery playfully juxtaposes retro skiers, dressed in the classic attire of decades past, with their modern-day stunts and feats of daring. The twist comes in the form of an audience, a crowd that gazes upward, seemingly in awe of the spectacle above. But beneath the surface, there’s a flirtatious tension—at first glance, it seems the guys are more focused on impressing the woman in sunglasses than on the slopes themselves. The dynamic interactions between performer and spectator create a narrative that dances between nostalgia, bravado, and a hint of romantic pursuit.
