John Peart Estate 

King Street Gallery on William and Charles Nodrum Gallery represent the John Peart Estate.

“John Peart produced paintings that are wide-ranging, relentless and investigative. Peart made paintings of profound intelligence and enduring exhilaration, rarely equalled in Australian twentieth-century art.” – Geoffrey Legge, 2016

John Peart was born in 1945 in Brisbane and died at Wedderburn, NSW in 2013.

The retrospective exhibition John Peart Paintings 1964-2004 at Campbelltown Arts Centre aimed to celebrate Peart’s oeuvre. The curator of such, Renee Porter outlined that the exhibition “demonstrates Peart’s artistic development and his significant standing in contemporary Australian painting. He has had a long and distinguished career, rising to national prominence over the past 40 years.” Additionally, he notes the eminence of Peart’s work in various State, regional and corporate collections across Australia and internationally.
