King Street Gallery on William

In the Studio: Wendy Sharpe – BBC News Podcast

July 10, 2024

Wendy Sharpe breaks conventions, painting on walls and installing herself in the gallery, becoming part of the art, in a new exhibition Spellbound.

Wendy Sharpe is a multi-award winning Australian artist working on a new exhibition Spellbound for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. In this exhibition she breaks all the rules, by painting directly onto walls, hanging works upside down or touching and installing not only her studio in this museum, but also herself, as she paints a mural directly on the wall in front of the public.

Regina Botros joins her as she works towards this immersive, labyrinth-like exhibition, where the lines between art and artist are blurred.
