Charles Hewitt has been connected with the art world for over 40 years. During this time he has worked with collectors, artists and galleries all over Australia.
In 1964 Charles Hewitt Frames was established; this business has grown from a one man show to a workforce of 18 people. Charles Hewitt commenced production of water gilded mouldings in 1967 and created the first profiles for Brett Whiteley and Russell Drysdale to emulate their choices in Europe and the USA.
Charles Hewitt Frames has also designed, manufactured and supplied more than 400 frames for the National Gallery in Canberra, including the framing of Jackson Pollock’s iconic painting Blue Poles.
In 1989 Charles Hewitt opened a gallery exhibiting antiquarian prints, by 1992 he was also showing an expanding group of young and emerging artists. We now have one of the best exhibition spaces in Sydney in our new gallery at 335 South Dowling Street, Darlinghurst, with a continually developing exhibition schedule of new and established artists.
