Yesterday we visited the Brett Whiteley Studio in Surry Hills, which is currently showing Chapters 1959–1969. It’s all works made by Whiteley between the ages of 20 and 30, during an intensive period of travel and artistic experimentation. What I liked about this gallery was the way it was arranged. For me the pieces that spoke loudest emanated from Whiteley’s time in Fiji, and a 1968 collage called New York 1. I found the bath nudes too abstract. It’s a multimedia gallery where you can see both a wide range of his art, plus the place where Brett created it, lined with quotes and images he found inspiring. In the small gift shop you’ll find the book that inspired our secret garden visit. Entry is free.
Brilliant trip to the Brett Whiteley Studio, exhibition was on his early works from Australia New York and Fiji. Having the studio where he lived and worked adds depth to the experience
As a Bob Dylan fanatic loved it he did a 86 press conference here and there is loads of interesting items related.
Plus it's Free!
Great ain't it? When you don't know much about the artist's work except that he is an Aust icon, vaguely recollect you don't quite like his art - what the memory bank trawls up. By chance, you follow your friends & then find that Brett's art is arresting - some a lot more than the others..
Just love these sort of encounters, especially when the eye & mind in the passage of time perceives differently.
Current exhibition (Sun 10 Sep visit) is focused on 10 years of his life between 1959 - 69. Appreciated this as first intro to Brett's work - it showcased enough to assimilate & ruminate without too much quantity.
Staff at entry desk was super helpful & welcoming. Saddened to hear his daughter Arkie who was in the 80s drama Prisoners died young from cancer.
A book on the coffee table upstairs caught my eye - Native Rose. On my recent first visit to Uluru & Kata Tjuta Nat Park - my eyes perceived the geo formations exactly as Brett has painted it!
The toilet is mod con nice. Very small gift shop with postcards, books & poster prints of artworks & gen info incl. Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden next to Sydney's Luna Park. We got the Light Rail from city George's St to a stop close by to this gallery - the home where artist & family lived for some time.
A fantastic preserved studio of Australia's greatest painter. The Brett Whiteley studio in Surrey Hills is all inspiring as a testament to devotion to the artistic practice of painting. There are many Lightwork of his as well as a wall inscribed by various motivational quotes in lead pencil, which is his top painting studio upstairs, this is a fantastic place to visit whether for an hour or two hours or even a day?
If you're a Brett Whiteley fan, as I am, you'll enjoy this space. You're not allowed to take photos, which is disappointing. There is a tiny selection of books, postcards, posters and cards. Which predictably include none of what is on …
Fantastic experience and no charge. Friendly and informed staff who clearly took pride in what they were doing. So much history on Brett and apparently always changing it up. Will definitely be back!👍🙏😊 …
Art should be kept alive. The Brett Whitely is a unique gallery where his voice can still be seen and heard. It is wonderful to watch artist Natasha Walsh quietly working here. Bring overseas visitors here - they will be amazed at how down to earth we are.
Quite a wonderful experience and very well worth while the visit. Brett's studio is much more than just seeing the art. It's also about the man. …
Explore one of Sydney's best kept secrets: This museum by the Art Gallery of NSW was the workplace and home of Australian artist Brett Whiteley (1939–1992). The Studio exhibits a selection of Whiteley's work where glimpses of his private …
Always interesting and regularly changing (free) exhibitions, Knowledgeable, friendly staff.
Can't add photos, because for some reason they aren't allowed.
