Ian Henderson was born in the UK and studied at Banbury, Oxford and Swansea Colleges of Art. Before moving with his family to Australia in 1972 he exhibited regularly in group and solo exhibitions throughout the country. In 1966 he was awarded the fifth Gulbenkian Fellowship (in painting) at Keele University, then taught briefly at Leeds College of Art and Leeds School of Architecture before becoming artist in residence at Brock University in Ontario. He is a figurative painter working in several different media as well as being a successful portrait artist and has a particular interest in landscape, exploring what he refers to as 'placeness' (genius loci) as well as the social realist aspects in which the natural environment has been altered by human intervention. Henderson has become a well-established figure in the Australian art world, exhibiting extensively at major galleries as well as undertaking teaching and consultancy assignments; his work is represented in numerous public art collections. He lives and works in the Adelaide Hills area of South Australia. As a migrant to Australia Ian has continued to maintain his contacts overseas. He has a large number of paintings in Canada and in the UK. (Twenty-eight of Ian Henderson’s paintings are catalogued within the UK Public Catalogue Foundation, 'ArtUK'.) He is represented in many private and public collections in the UK, Canada, USA, Asia and Australia. Most recently he has written and illustrated five autobiographical essays that are catalogued within the National Library of Australia, the ACT Heritage Library and the State Library of New South Wales. In 2016 Ian and his wife completed a trip to northeast Thailand after which an exhibition of paintings and an essay describing the visit were produced. A recently completed portrait has been of Dr Mike Kelly, AM, MP, Federal Member for Eden-Monaro, and a selection of the artist’s paintings were shown at Altenburg & Co in Braidwood during June 2017.

  • Visione Mistica, original 36x48 contemporary landscape
    By Dmitri Wright
    Located in Spring Lake, NJ
    Visione Mistica, Mystical Vision, is an introspective, contemporary, original oil painting reminiscent of the 1960s, resplendent with explosive colors and imagery that commands both attention and consideration. The 36x48 scale of the dynamic landscape, combined with the magical reds, could carry any neutral room that's calling for a pop of joy and color! The artist has gallery wrapped this contemporary work of art on a stretcher with a 1.5" return to keep a transitional, open feeling throughout the painting. Alternately, it could be framed if you prefer a larger overall size for your space. Artist Dmitri Wright is the Director of the Weir Farm National Historic Site Art Academy where he teaches art in addition to teaching at the venerable Florence Griswold...

  • Froid du l'Etang, French Expressionist Oil on Canvas Lake Landscape
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Mid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together. A journey of fabulous encounters for this artist, his work is impressive, not to mention his work in collaboration with very great artists." Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...
