Mother and child, yellow dress (Pledge)

Artist Statement: In times of darkness and fear which our new norm presents…. The like of which we all thought was relegated to the past, good art has the power to not only lift the spirit, it can also calm the soul. Art, whether music, sculpture or paint can bring calmness and tranquillity in the most challenging of environments.

 My art is made with this in mind, to lift the spirit - John Maitland.

CHG Director's Statement: John Maitland is considered by some “one of Australia’s most exciting artists” (John Norris, Prime Arts Publishing), while his works have been referred to as “possessing the exquisite line and colour of a Matisse”.

John Maitland captures children, people, families and indigenous Australians within their environment. His compositions provide insight into the personality of those within his paintings or their connection to the landscape, giving the viewer a yearning for life's simple pleasures. His figurative paintings are colourful, alluring, ethereal, dreamy and command a strong following.
