Cape Town-born Enver Larney has, for the past 25 years, been hard at work capturing intoxicating scenes from around the world, oil on canvas.
An impressionist in the traditional sense, Larney’s medium format work is all achieved in a single sitting and in the open. His collection of thousands of canvases completed this way is an investors dream, as his work is hugely popular and therefore extremely scarce to come by and extremely rare.
After more than 50 one-man shows exhibited globally since 1972, his works appear in many collections and institutions the likes of the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, the Musee d’Affiche, in Paris, as well as countless private collections around the world.
After much deliberation Larney has finally decided to make prints of his works, all of which are available to order in order that these images be viewed and appreciated by a wider audience through Fine Art America.
These last few years he’s travelled to Mount Ararat, in Eastern Turkey, to the Gulf Region, to Indonesia as well as to Italy, Central and South Africa. Previous painting expeditions have had him travel from the wilds of Tasmania, to Washington State, California and the Sonoras in the USA.
His works are created in the traditional way, capturing sunlight as medium reminiscent of Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, van Gogh, and those early impressionists who were able to achieve this level of immediacy with oils. In this regard Larney has very few contemporaries. Recently he painted in Provence, France, where he visited St. Paul de Mausole, the clinic where Vincent van Gogh recovered at St. Remy after his breakdown, due to Paul Gauguin’s controversial departure from Arles.
The more than twenty canvases completed there spoke of a distant time, when the challenges of en plein air painting were met in this honest and direct way. Not since Vincent’s death, however, had a singular painter achieved this in Provence. It was Larney’s private tribute to a fellow artist who he refers to as, “… an inspirational guiding light”.
Daylight Hours, a book he hopes to publish soon, talks of his travels around the world and his experiences under South Africa’s apartheid rule. It also highlights what it means to work with an impressionist palette, in pure daylight and with such vast access to our global community and its natural habitat.
Today Larney’s home is in northern New South Wales, in Australia, where he returns to after regular painting trips abroad.
