Nestled among the cafes and laneways, warehouses and terrace house of the inner-city suburb of Surry Hills, the Brett Whiteley Studio offers a rare and intimate insight into the art and life of one of the most celebrated and intensely creative artists of 20th-century Australia.

Passionate, charismatic, wild, gifted, troubled, prolific, Whiteley was a unique and extraordinary artistic spirit, and his studio concentrates everything that made him so in one place. A converted T-shirt factory, it houses his exhibition gallery and , upstairs, his living quarters and the studio itself, with brushes and paint splattered floor, an unfinished painting leaning against the wall. It is as if he has just stepped out.
