Lance O'Gorman

fine art neo-impressionist painter - acrylic and oil colour

The New Zealand artist, Lance O'Gorman has been painting for close on 50 years and his landscapes and seascapes feature in many public and private art collections, both nationally and internationally. He trained at the Auckland Institute of Fine Art and Commercial Art. His love of Peter McIntyre and of his environment shines through his paintings.

"As an artist, much of my work is to explore pigments, surfaces, brushstroke and colour, and then apply this knowledge, in a variety of styles, to our surroundings. Although basically an impressionist, my aim is to apply both modern and traditional concepts in the painting to enhance atmosphere and feeling."

Lance enjoys sharing his talent with other artists, formally and informally, and he has been a guest at many art schools and art societies throughout the country. His work has featured in three publications, 'Northland - a Portrait', 'The Art of Lance O'Gorman' and most recently, 'Auckland, City of Sails'.

Of his oil paintings in an exhibition at RONA GALLERY, he said that they are "…a statement of my impressions of images, both seen and imagined, and then constructed in styles that best stimulate an emotional response."

Lance believes his art is an expression of his own optimistic and positive view of life, and thinks that artists need to develop their own individual style.
