A wonderful exhibition of never before displayed drawings and photographs from the personal collection of one of Australia’s most renowned and prolific contemporary artists.
Guy was born in Goulburn NSW on the 16th April 1921 in the front room of the family home at 37 Victoria Street.
At 21 he enlisted in the AIF and was later stationed in WW2 Bougainville where much of his downtime was spent sketching and photographing his surroundings; the people, the landscape, the war.
Forms and motifs from Bougainville endured and were profoundly influential on Guys later works. With more than 60 solo exhibitions, his works are held around Australia and across the world.
Guy Warren turns 103 on the 16th of April 2024. Until very recently he continued to work in his Sydney studio most days.
Exhibition opened 1 March 2024 and closes 12 May 2024.
