"Brett Whiteley Studio, Surry Hills by For the People. There’s nothing quite like seeing a great artist in the midst of their process.Unfortunately, legendary Australian artist Brett Whiteley passed away in 1992, so nobody will ever again see him work with a brush. But you can see the next best thing.The Art Gallery of NSW has maintained Brett’s studio (and home) in Surry Hills, and it’s now a museum and gallery dedicated to his life and work. But it’s also a document of his process, with the studio littered his unfinished paintings, art equipment and reference books. and the graffiti wall covered with quotes and images.So yes, seeing his art up close is great – but the real joy is examining the artefacts of creativity strewn about, giving you a chance to get forensic and deconstruct the genesis of the art on display.Artworks © Wendy WhiteleyPhoto: AGNSW"
