Whiteley Drawings on
Exhibition in Sydney

The exhibition Ink: Brett Whiteley and Others has opened at the Brett Whiteley Studio in Surry Hills and continues every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm until August 20. Australian artist Brett Whiteley (1939-1992) traveled extensively throughout Asia, experiencing at first hand the sources of his inspiration.

Whiteley's ink drawings and paintings are accompanied by works of other Australian and Asian artists selected from the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The quality which unites them is a fluid energy of the brush, extending through the media of ink, watercolor and oil paint, reflecting a lyrical response to the calligraphic style.

Brett Whiteley Studio is at 2 Raper St, Surry Hills, Sydney, telephone (02) 9225 1811. There is a $7 admission charge.
