Coincidence is a funny thing. I'm currently writing a house feature for real living, and one of the paintings in this beautiful home is by artist Charly Wrencher. As it so happens I had seen an invite a little while back for his exhibition at United Galleries and loved his work so got in contact with him. Today I realise that I'm writing about the same person but in different contexts. Anyway, Charly has worked as an artist for 20 years and been a finalist for the prestigious Wynne Prize. He's short on words but big on colour, so enjoy.

I like his paintings even more after reading this interview. Children, patience, westward view, Clemente...
Lovely spirit.
I know! If you get a chance check out the July issue of Real Living, which has one of his artworks on the wall. Quite different in his use of colour, but equally beautiful.
