The Garden in Sanur - Bali 1980

Brett Whiteley's "The Garden in Sanur - Bali" is a 1980 black and white drawing featuring lush tropical foliage. The piece depicts a dense, vibrant garden setting with a thatched-roof structure in the background, suggesting a Balinese landscape. The artist's signature gestural style is evident in the expressive, almost abstract rendering of the leaves and trees. Whiteley's use of ink and charcoal creates a dynamic interplay between light and shadow, adding depth and dimensionality to the composition. The inclusion of real leaves adds an unexpected textural element to this expressive work of art.
