Aura- Whiteley's 'Alchemy'



I saw Brett Whiteley 'Alchemy' at the Art Gallery of NSW a few years ago. Prior to seeing it i had been studying the painting throughout year 11 and 12 and had spent countless hours deciphering the painting, its many meanings and Whiteley's life for assignments and exams. So when i did finally see it in person it was a very surreal experience. I think 'Alchemy' it the type of artwork that whether you're seeing it for the first time or the hundredth, this aura it has is just as powerful.
