My visit to the Brett Whiteley Studio was a truly enriching artistic experience. The exhibited works revealed the depth of Whiteley's talent, while exploring his preserved studio offered a fascinating glimpse into his creative process. The inspiring ambiance and meticulous attention to detail made this visit memorable for any art enthusiast.

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.

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
