Every painting is a journey starting with an outline plan but the route taken is liable to change if opportunities arise along the way. [Mitchell]...is always in control but often the destination is not precisely the one initially envisaged. Each eagerly anticipated new painting commands a contribution from the viewer in order to fully appreciate the essence of the content...Gordon Mitchell never ceases to surprise and delight.

Professor Andrew Merrylees, Royal Scottish Academy
