Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Robert Hunter

Robert Hunter (1947-2014) was born in Melbourne, Victoria. Hunter’s work came to the fore during ‘The Field’ exhibition, which opened at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1968. Considered the leading exponent of minimal/conceptual painting to emerge in Australia during the late 1960s, Robert Hunter has pursued a singular line of enquiry during the past 45 years. His work was exhibited in the 1974 MOMA exhibition Eight Contemporary Artists and since then he has exhibited widely both within Australia and internationally. Key exhibitions include solo shows at the seminal, avant-garde Melbourne gallery Pinacotheca from 1970–1996. A major retrospective of Hunter’s work was presented at The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne in 2018. Hunter’s work is held in all major public collections within Australia.
