Why it's worth checking out
Ian Stephens Art Gallery in Palm Cove presents the current work of Australian artist Ian Stephens, with original paintings and prints on canvas available to view at the Village Gallery. The gallery is located at Shop 3, 139 Williams Esplanade, making it a dedicated space to see his work in person rather than only online. Worldwide freight and insurance are available for purchases.
Stephens’ career began in Gippsland, Victoria, where his artistic ability was recognised at an early age. He later studied architectural drawing, art history, painting techniques and fine art before holding his first solo exhibition in Melbourne. The gallery’s account of his career includes more than 30 solo exhibitions across Australia, art awards and international recognition, including a Royal Overseas League award in 1976.
His connection with the Australian environment is central to the story behind the work. After moving to Far North Queensland in 1992, Stephens began incorporating the tropical setting into his varied landscape paintings, while also using his art to record and preserve Australian heritage. The Palm Cove gallery suits visitors interested in Australian landscape art, collectors looking to view originals or canvas prints, and anyone wanting to explore the work of an established practising artist. Visitors can also subscribe for news about painting releases and events.
