Dean Buchanan


Dean Buchanan is a prominent New Zealand artist who has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand, as well as in Chile, the USA, and Japan. From an early age he showed talent, painting large oils that demonstrated both technical brilliance and a close affinity with the natural world. During the past thirty years he has created a significant body of work as well as an instantly recognisable style. 

His paintings are found in homes throughout New Zealand, in public buildings and galleries both here and overseas. Coupled with his creative talent is an ability to live life to the full. No shrinking violet, 'Wild Beast’ Buchanan has always expressed himself forthrightly, especially in defence of preserving New Zealand’s natural environment. He has also become a mountaineer of some note, and in January 2007 succeeded in climbing Mt Cook. Bob Harvey interviewed Dean Buchanan extensively for the book “Wild Beast: The Art of Dean Buchanan” and describes every facet of his life. The book also includes sixty reproductions of some of his greatest paintings.

Over a period of about forty years artist Dean Buchanan has continually put his distinct and dynamic view of New Zealand landscape on canvas and hessian. The physical kind of relationship Buchanan has with the landscape is translated directly into his quick and forthright way of painting. The impact the landscape has on him is also clear in his work, which is bold in colour and line and full of a sense of rhythm.
"Bold in colour and line and full of a sense of rhythm."
