In this week's instalment of #TheMakers, we tour artist Charlie Bennell’s Victorian studio and terrace in Bondi. ✨
There’s no shortage of incredible talent when it comes to Australian artists. One such standout you should familiarise yourself with is @charliebennell, a Sydney-based painter who creates vibrant works that merge the worlds of architecture and art. ✨
These whimsical scenes depict existing architectural structures with an otherworldly vibe, including colourful imagery of doorways and staircases that suggest a refresh or reframing of the mind, a sense of transience leading the viewer somewhere else. ✨
In an exciting collaboration with Bed Threads, Charlie has created five one-off original paintings for Bed Threads Gallery. Each colourful work has been inspired by architectural settings and draws upon the works of architects like Ricardo Bofill, Richard England, and Andrew Trotter. 🎨
For the full tour of Charlie's home head to the ‘Home Tours’ section of the Bed Threads Journal or our Instagram Stories now. 📱✨
