Jeremy Holton
CV
After graduating in England, Jeremy worked as; a Town Planner in UK; a Geologist in East Africa and Australia; an Information Technology executive in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth; and as Director of IT consulting for Ernst & Young.
He studied for the Diploma of Art at the Claremont School of Art, in Perth.
In 1994 he held his first solo exhibition of Pilbara landscapes at Woodside Petroleum in Perth and in Karratha. Since then he has had highly successful annual exhibitions at galleries in Perth as well as exhibiting in Melbourne, Adelaide, Broome, Yallingup, Mandurah, Cairns and the USA.
His paintings have proved to be popular with publishers and are used in book covers published by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, Michigan University Press and CD albums.
Lloyd Rees, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Klimt, the Fauvres, Lucian Freud, Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, John Perceval and Fred Williams have influenced Jeremy.
Despite a wide range of techniques and approaches to painting, Jeremy’s work is immediately recognisable due to his strong style. He works mainly in oil on canvas but also uses oil pastels and inks on paper.
Jeremy's subject matter is mainly landscapes/townscapes, which capture the colours and contrasts of Australia, together with some nudes and flower studies.
Jeremy's work is represented in many private and public collections, both in Australia and internationally.
In March 1995 he established the first commercial art gallery in Australia on the World Wide Web. This can be accessed at www.peachtreegallery.com or www.jeremyholton.com to view his latest paintings, exhibition schedules and to download exhibition catalogues.
