Personal life

edit

Wendy Sharpe was born in 1960 in Sydney, Australia. She is the only child of British parents; her father is the writer and historian Alan Sharpe.[7]

She spent her early years in the Northern Beaches in Sydney, and from 1978 and 1979 she studied at Seaforth Technical College. She received a Graduate Diploma of Professional Art from the City Art Institute in Sydney in 1984, and a master's degree from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales in 1995.[3]

She taught part-time at art schools for many years; including a position at the National Art School, Sydney.

Sharpe works in a large warehouse studio in inner Sydney, and in an apartment/artist studio in Montmartre, Paris, which she owns with her partner, artist Bernard Ollis.[8]

Work

edit

Sharpe works in oil paint creating large scale portrait and figurative works that depict real people as well as imagined elements.[9][10] She also creates commissioned murals.

Chris Saines, Director of Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art said Sharpe's work explores a “...constant curiosity about the world, the outer limits of the human imagination, and the part played by art history in nourishing them both. She is, first and foremost, an extraordinarily accomplished painter who makes it all look so easy, when it never is.”[11]

Saines awarded her the Prestigious Gold Award in 2022 .

Portraits

edit

She has painted portraits of many well-known figures in the Australian arts industry, including Ash Flanders (finalist in the Archibald Prize, 2014),[12] Venus Vamp (finalist in the Archibald prize, 2013),[13] Magda Szubanski (finalist in the Archibald prize, 2020),[14] Elena Kats – Chernin (now in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, 2017).[15]

Murals

edit

Wendy Sharpe has created a number of temporary murals and major wall paintings in museums and galleries, such as; Maitland Regional Gallery, Mosman Art Gallery, Lake Macquarie Museum of Art and Culture and The Yellow House, Potts Point.[4]

The City of Sydney council commissioned Sharpe in 1998 to paint an Olympic pool sized mural on the life of Australian swimmer, actress and vaudeville performer, Annette Kellerman. It is a series of eight paintings hung suspended along one side of the pool, permanently displayed in the Cook + Phillip Aquatic Centre, Sydney.[16]

In 2020, Sharpe was commissioned by the Inner West Council’s Perfect Match program, for their 100th mural. Titled ‘Women’s Empowerment Mural’, it is on the corner of Church and Federation Street, Newtown, painted on the wall surrounding the home of Ewan Samway and his partner Matt Vagulans.[17]

In 2021, she painted a forty-metre ephemeral mural, ‘Vu iz dos gesele?/Where is the little street?’, at Sydney Jewish Museum. The mural depicted her recent family research trip to Ukraine. It included a portrait of her grandmother and poetic imagery about time passing.[18] Government imposed COVID-19 restrictions at the time meant that the mural was never to open to the public. A documentary on the mural ‘Site Unseen’ was later shown on ABC TV’s Compass program.[19]

Official War Artist

edit

In 1999, Sharpe was appointed official war artist during the Australian military role in East Timor, commissioned by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.[25] She was the first female artist to be appointed in this role since World War II.[26]

As on the Australian War Memorial (AWM) website:

“Sharpe commenced duty in Darwin, where she attended briefing sessions and recorded the everyday activities of life in the barracks. On 12 December, she departed for East Timor on HMAS 'Jervis Bay'. Attached to the Army History Unit, she was assigned a military escort and wore a non-combatant uniform with the insignia "Australian Official Artist". Sharpe spent three weeks sketching the local people and Australian peacekeepers, before returning to Sydney to complete major works based on her observations.” [3]

After returning from East Timor, Sharpe's paintings and drawings made on duty were added to the AWM's collection.[27]

Exhibitions

edit

Sharpe has exhibited work regularly since the mid 1980s throughout Australia; in commercial galleries, state museums, regional galleries and art spaces. She has also had solo exhibitions in the UK, France, China, Germany.[4] In total she has had over 70 solo exhibitions nationally and internationally,[5]

Her second residency to Antarctica travelled from Argentina in 2014, with Chimu Adventures. The work produced was shown in ‘Paintings for Antarctica’, an exhibition at the Australian National Maritime Museum.[34] In 2019, Sharpe and Ollis joined Chimu Adventures together aboard the Ocean Atlantic, on a trip to Svalbard in the arctic.[35]

Sharpe has worked with a number of different philanthropic organizations; creating work for fundraising exhibitions and events.[4]

Through the Asylum Seeker Centre, Sydney; Sharpe drew 39 portraits of refugees and asylum seekers for her exhibition ‘Seeking Humanity – Portraits of Asylum Seekers’.

An ABC TV documentary was made about the exhibition (see Television).[45] In 2015 she became patron of the Asylum Seeker Centre, Sydney.
