Vincent Duncan

Wellington based artist Vincent Duncan has always been a painter. From the early days of his youth throughout his teens and into his adult life, it has always been a priority to express himself through his paintings. In 1996 he was able to pursue his passion full time. He is in constant demand and now has works in collections throughout the world. Please feel free to view his latest works on the gallery page.

Below is a brief description of Vincent's work by local art critic Eric Holowacz, he says the self-taught Vincent is unlike any painter working in Wellington. "He has gained a reputation as one of the city's most enthusiastic land and seascape artists, able to infuse any scene with vibrant colour and texture. It is undeniable that Vincent's canvasses capture a certain essence of Wellington, whether they depict the new beach at Oriental Bay, an historic street, or a Sunday afternoon in the park."

Mr Duncan has been showing us how he sees Wellington for almost twenty years, drawing inspiration from the Impressionists and later forms of Expressionism. In recent times, he has set up a new studio and all enquiries can be made at vincentduncanart@gmail.com or ph 0210403050 or www.kiwiarthouse.co.nz

Eric Holowacz says Vincent's work is characterised by an intensity of feeling and a willingness to go outside the norm. "He often dispenses with brush and tools, using his hands to create the scene and eliminate the barrier between artist and canvas. His images are rich in texture, appealing to both tactile and aesthetic senses. They are imbued with activity."Vincent's

work has recently been acknowledged with his attainment of Elected Artist Member of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts.
