Preserving an artist's studio gives an incomplete piece like this one somewhere to be displayed, and it feels right to see it hanging to give visitors a sense of the artist and his way of working.
What happens when an artist leaves behind an unfinished masterpiece? In this episode of 'Art, life and the other thing', Fenella Kernebone takes listeners on a journey through Brett Whiteley's studio, exploring his incomplete painting, 'Interior, Lavender Bay'. This monumental work, found after Whiteley's death, now hangs in his preserved studio in Surry Hills, Sydney. It's a space that not only showcases his art but also offers a glimpse into his creative process and personal struggles.
Fenella chats with curators Anne Ryan and Barry Pearce, Wendy Whiteley, and artists Louise Zhang, Deborah Kelly, and David Eastwood. They discuss the importance of preserving artist studios, which serve as time capsules of creativity and inspiration. The episode also delves into the significance of Whiteley's drawings and how understanding an artist's process can deepen our appreciation of their work.
If you're curious about the mind of an artist and the legacy they leave behind, this episode is a treasure trove of insights.
