THE PRINT

The birds that materialised on Binney’s early canvases were the pīpīwharauroa, kererū, pīwakawaka, tūī and kōtare to whose distinctive forms he paid tribute. Before long there existed an archetypal Binney: a canvas featuring a bird suspended over an abstracted New Zealand landform. These paintings were boldly graphic, memorable and modern. For this Pākehā painter and the broader culture to which he belonged, they filled a present need, communicating a strengthening sense of home. In honouring this place, they represented the vision of a shared legacy. Binney also placed high value on the order and mystery of the natural world, above any particular shifting art world current — he grew up close to nature and remained a committed conservationist throughout his life.

This premium quality offset art print has been produced on heavy weight art paper with a satin finish using lightfast pigment based inks resulting in a sharp, vivid image with a high degree of colour accuracy.
  • 250gsm premium quality art art paper
  • Natural white with a smooth satin finish
  • Can be purchased framed or unframed
  • Embossed with the official Binney Estate stamp

THE ARTIST

Don Binney (1940-2012) is a well known and respected New Zealand artist who was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to the arts in 1995. He has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand and has been the subject of a touring retrospective exhibition. His work is represented in many public collections including those of the Auckland City Art Gallery and Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand.

Binney is best known for his iconic paintings of birds. He began painting images of birds in the New Zealand landscape in the early 1960s. He has said that through bird watching he discovered a passage into the landscape and the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with it. Many of Binney’s works depict the west coast of Auckland and Northland, containing sea, sky, native birds, still life and occasionally, figures.
