Noel Hodnett
 

Born 1949 Zimbabwe. Internationally renowned South African/Canadian artist currently living and working in British Columbia, Canada.

About the Artist

Noel Hodnett works in the contemporary genre and employs a variety of oil painting techniques which allow the work to evolve through the intellectual and painterly process.

"Painting is for me a journey of discovery...a process of peeling back the layers of the subconscious in an effort to find some meaning to the chaos that often surrounds us." - N.H.

"The work is sensuous and expressionistic, and has much in common with contemporary British painting in its exaltation of paint." - E.M. - The Art Newspaper.

"Hodnett shocks and repels, yet one is drawn back time and time again to be seduced and energized by the sheer beauty of paint application, the mastery of space articulation, the exploitation of the expressive aspects of visual experience and artifice." - Marilyn Martin - Director, South African National Gallery.
