Jan Senbergs

“Jan Senbergs is an extraordinary inventor of his own visual language, at once simple and bold. From lush landscapes to barren urban spaces, his body of work signifies an artist who has continually experimented with shape, form and motif, and one who to this day continues to push his art in new and unexpected directions.” Tony Ellwood, Director, National Gallery of Victoria, 2016

Jan Senbergs (1939 – 2024) was one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists. His practice included painting, drawing and printmaking. He has been the subject of a number of major institutional exhibitions, including Jan Senbergs: Observation-Imagination, a comprehensive retrospective of his work held at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2016.

Jan Senbergs’ first exhibition was held at Richman Galleries in Melbourne in 1960 and he exhibited extensively throughout his career. His work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and in all state galleries in Australia, as well as the National Gallery, Washington D.C; Wadsworth-Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut; Museum of Modern Art, New York; The British Museum, London; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas.
