Eight years ago, TML’s Senior Writer Ian MacTavish, reviewed ‘Art, Life and The Other Thing’, the first official biography of the great Brett Whiteley. Read it here.
Now, there is a major exhibit of Whiteley’s amazing art – paintings, drawings, sculptures and more at the Logan Art Gallery: Brett Whiteley. Inside the Studio
From Logan Arts:
“Brett Whiteley Inside the Studio offers a rare and intimate insight into the ‘artist’s world’ through the art and life of one of the most admired and intensely creative figures of twentieth-century Australia.
Since 1995, the Brett Whiteley Studio has operated as a public museum, presenting an extraordinary time capsule of Whiteley’s art and life. The preserved world of Whiteley’s work is paint-splattered and graffitied, littered with objets d’art collected from the artist’s travels and cluttered with books, music and photography. Logan Art Gallery is pleased to partner with the Art Gallery of New South Wales to present this exhibition of painting, drawing, sculpture, music and photography from the Brett Whiteley Studio. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for audiences to experience the breadth and depth of one of Australia’s most celebrated artists, Brett Whiteley.”
