From the Mountain to the Sky: An Interview with Guy Warren
On Friday 16 April, the National Art School was proud to launch its new Drawing Gallery with an exhibition of works by NAS Alumnus, Fellow and esteemed artist, Guy Warren AM.
This exhibition explores the artist’s primal urge to draw and the diverse ways he makes his mark. It pays tribute to the artist’s great contribution to Australia’s visual culture, and a lifetime of creativity based on drawing.
In the lead up to his exhibition, we sat down with Warren and spoke about his work, his life leading up and during art school, and the connections he’s made along the way.
