“Travel and painting are my two preoccupations.”
This exhibition includes work from Wendy’s more recent travels, including a residency in Cairo, Egypt earlier this year; Arles, France, drawing in areas where Van Gogh had worked; a residency in Granada, Spain during the Easter week processions; and gouaches and works on paper from India, Morocco, Portugal, London, Berlin and Vietnam.
Wendy Sharpe is acclaimed as one of Australia’s most significant and awarded artists. She has won the Archibald Prize, the Portia Geach Memorial Prize (twice) and the Sulman prize (judged by Albert Tucker). She has received major commissions which include the Australian Official Artist to East Timor, the first woman selected since WW2.
