Counting the Archibald, Sulman, Calleen Art, and Adelaide Perry Art prizes among her award wins, Sydney- and Paris-based artist Wendy Sharpe is known for expressive works that celebrate and observe the human condition.
Featuring a live-painted mural, immersive labyrinthine installations, and new commissions, Into the Dark responds to the climate crisis, the decline of truth, and to war; by confronting our collective fears of the darkness plaguing our world today, Sharpe asks whether naming our dread can transform paralysis into awareness and resistance.
