Brett Whiteley 'Towards Sculpture 6 ' roar studios

Brett Whiteley 'Towards Sculpture 6 ' roar studiosBrett Whiteley is an icon of Australian art. Often fusing the abstract and the figurative, calm and chaos, Whiteley creates emotionally heightened worlds of ballooning forms and elongated figures. His imagery is always immediate, reflective of his pursuit for beauty which can best be described as being on time for the appointment. Pivotal to the artist's visual lexicon is the female nude, a subject that he continued to visit throughout his career.
