Jeremy Houghton's exhibition opens at the Everard Read gallery, Johannesburg.
10th February
Artist Jeremy Houghton's debut solo show in South Africa opened last night on 9th February 2012 at the world renowned Everard Gallery in Johannesburg.
 
 
 
Jeremy Houghton is a British artist who is fast becoming recognised as one of his generation's most prolific and collectable painters. His evocative and varied works on canvas and paper, offering a rare combination of realist and abstract depictions, have been shown in some of London's most prestigious galleries providing a fascinating insight and dialogue between artist and viewer.
 
 
 
 
The lesser flamingo, found predominantly in eastern and south Africa, is suffering due to the shifting states of water in their habitat. Water has been the foremost topic and medium that Houghton has addressed throughout his painting career, so the combination of his interest with the flamingo and his concern for water conservation has resulted in an unrivalled ornithological portfolio which is now 'returning' to South Africa for this much publicised exhibition.
 
 
 
This selling exhibition of 25 original oil paintings will not only be a celebration of Houghton's powerful work but also a chance to raise much needed funds and awareness for the lesser flamingo. BirdLife South Africa and the Save The Flamingo Charity will be the beneficiaries of this exhibition.
 
 
 
Everard Read has become synonymous with the finest art emanating from South Africa. Many of this region's most celebrated painters and sculptors exhibit with Everard Read, which is also the agent for some of the world's most influential artists.
