Artist Statement:
I believe it was the great
british artist Turner who
said, in his eccentric
manner,that Art is 'A rum
do'...meaning that it is a
funny business...hard to
explain, if not inexplicable.
He was absolutely right... as
soon as you make a rule, you
break it. 'Art has ...

BIOGRAPHY:
AUSTEN PINKERTON
Austen Pinkerton was born in 1951 in Harrow, North-West London, and
educated locally at Pinner County Grammar School.
On leaving school he went to Oxford, to the Oxford School of Architecture,where he spent two years in full-time study, before it being
suggested that he should consider transfering to Art School, as a result of pictures he included in an end of term exhibition.
He then went to Goldsmiths College, London University, School of
Art, for three years, graduating in 1976 with a Batchelor of Arts: Fine Art (Painting).
After leaving art school he returned to architecture in order to earn a living and subsequently worked part-time in a variety of Architectural-Related fields, whilst continuing to Paint, Draw, and make Sculptures. For a while he was designing pubs in this country and abroad, notably Italy, France and Spain, and has also worked on refurbishments of the Law Society, and the Royal College Of Surgeons.
Meanwhile he has exhibited his work widely, at numerous galleries,…
in particular Krane arts, the contemporary arts wing of Krane Kalman, also
The Talent Store, Graffitti Gallery, the Horniman Museum, and most recently
and repeatedly, at The Gloucester Gallery, Kensington, run by Joan Catlin, former Registrar of The Royal College Of Art, and to one of which exhibitions Sir Eduardo Paolozzi visited by invitation.
Between 1990 and 1996 he opened and ran his own gallery in East Dulwich,
south London, ..'The Austen Pinkerton Gallery' , devoted entirely to his own work.
He has had numerous private commissions, most notably three very large
installed paintings at No 36 Wharton Street, Islington, which began initially with
a picture for Major Hamish Forbes, Director of the Museum of the Order of
St. John, St. John's Gate, and former resident of Colditz. When this picture was
moved to a new house another was commissioned by the new owner of No36,
and the same again when that moved with it's owner.
Until recently he worked part time for the well known british architect Richard Lincoln
whilst continuing to paint, draw, and make sculptures.
Currently he works for Chistopher Smallwood as an Architect (Self taught) whilst practising as an Artist 15 hours a week.
