Unveiled: This week’s program announcements
‘Arkley pursued a singular vision that incorporated aspects of high art and popular culture, such as punk and pop; a love of urban and suburban imagery and architecture; an ongoing preoccupation with pattern and colour; and a life-long dialogue with abstraction,’ said Victoria Lynn.
The exhibition will feature some of Arkley’s most-loved works, as well as photographs, visual diaries, sketch books, source material and working notes, on loan from the State Library of Victoria.
‘This combination of archival materials, studies and paintings is an intrinsic part of the exhibition’s aim to reveal Arkley’s ideas, influences, processes and working methods in developing his images,’ said Fitzpatrick.
The exhibition will also consider the influence of music on Arkley’s work, with a selection of tracks from his record collection played throughout, including pieces by The Birthday Party, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Cramps, Billie Holiday, Iggy Pop, Charles Mingus, Kraftwerk, Erik Satie, Talking Heads and Tom Waits.
Arkley worked with many friends and colleagues over the years, and was an influential part of a vibrant, artistic milieu. His colleagues and collaborators Alison Burton

Box 4:28 • Despite being rightly known and celebrated for his paintings and drawings, Brett Whiteley always extended his art beyond the frame, working in three dimensions when both the idea and its realisation demanded it. Across the artist’s oeuvre, forms occasionally explode from the canvas – in the visual and surface chaos of the multi-panelled painting The American Dream, 1968-69, (Art Gallery of Western Australia) for example, with its collaged objects and built-up shapes, and aspects of the natural world, such as branches, birds’ eggs and nests, sometimes represent themselves rather than being depicted by the artist, as if the beauty of their real-life forms defy transcription. Over his relatively short but highly productive career, Whiteley created sculptures from found objects, while also displaying mastery of more traditional techniques such as carving and casting. Indeed, over time, his large-scale sculptures such as Almost Once, 1968/1991 (otherwise known as ‘The Matchsticks’), sited near the Art Gallery of NSW, and Newcastle Art Gallery’s Black Totem II have become instantly recognisable and much-loved public art works.1 Whiteley arrived in London in 1960 after a 10-month stay in Italy following his awarding of the Italian Travelling Scholarship at the Art Gallery of NSW b |
