Orange #1, 2026

The first in the series, and where the obsession begins. Orange #1 is Brett Muhlhan’s opening statement on a colour that refuses to be quiet — warm, insistent, filling the canvas with a heat that feels almost physical.

Painted in oils on canvas in his Ballarat studio in 2026, this work launched an exploration of orange as subject, mood, and sensation. Where #2 deepens the conversation, this is where it starts — direct, confident, and alive with possibility.
