Charlie Sheard : Paintings
CSheard
Charlie Sheard is one of Australia’s most well known and respected abstract painters. He had seven exhibitions and two six month studio residencies scheduled for China and Germany and was also invited to a guest lectureship at Peking University in 2020 and 2021.
All these projects were shelved due to the pandemic and Charlie had already given up his studio. Having lost his way for a while, in the second half of 2020 he started painting with renewed vigour and a very different direction at his small home studio in Sydney. This new work will be heading to China later this year for an exhibition organised by Peking Art Associates in Beijing, with a Catalogue Raisonné of his practice from the last forty years. The University Gallery is delighted to exhibit Charlie Sheard’s new paintings and drawings in Australia prior to their exhibition in China.
