Paintings by Peregrine Heathcote.
Art.
Peregrine Heathcote was born in London in 1973. His natural talent surfaced at the age of 12 attending classes at the Heatherly School of Art in Chelsea. He then went on to Stoneyhurst and Harrow where he completed his formal education. Heathcote then began his classical training in Italy graduating from the Florence Fine Art Academy in 1994 and began his professional career as a working artist in 1995.
The characteristic themes ever present in Heathcote’s painting evoke a nostalgic look at a hedonistic lifestyle reminiscent of the thirties and twenties through to the swinging sixties. The young women are always beautiful and elegant in their chic designer outfits. The men are also good-looking, dapper and well to do.
Since introducing Peregrine Heathcote in June 2005, he has quickly become one of the gallery’s established and sought after artists. His virtuoso and classical style of painting has also led to portrait, yacht, and classic car commissions from many notable captains of industry and commerce as well as celebrities in the world of film, theatre and television. In recent years his impressive list of over 100 portrait commissions includes Prince Jeffrey of Brunei, The Duke and Duchess of St Albans, The Earl of Bradford, The Countess of Effingham and Lord Selsdon, Julian Fellows, Lord and Lady Rees-Mogg and the CEO of Barclays UK Banking, Roger Davis.
Born in London in 1973, Peregrine Heathcote graduated from the Florence Academy of Art in 1995 and currently lives and works in Chelsea, London. The BBC have recently filmed a documentary on Peregrine’s portrait painting which has been aired worldwide.His paintings, including commissioned portraits of prominent executives, aristocrats, and socialites, have been exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Academy, and are collected and exhibited all over the world. Peregrine Heathcote’s paintings conjure a world of intoxicating glamour and intrigue, slipping across the boundaries of time to fuse iconic pre-war design with modern conceptions of beauty and silverscreen-era romance. The images could depict a dream world—the pure artistic vision of a painter fascinated with the bygone glamour of his parents’ youth and his own childhood spent in Britain and Dubai, but also by the contemporary incarnation of glamour in an international jet-set culture. The images could be literal representations of actors on movie sets, or real-life models letting their contemporary sensibilities peek through as they pose against period backdrops. Each canvas suggests a story, prompting us to imagine the circumstances around a single crucial scene. Heathcote purposefully leaves such questions open, allowing us room to construct multiple narratives. This weaving in and out of various realities, blending the literal and metaphoric is achieved with great skill, imagination, and ingenuity. Источник
Peregrine Heathcote is a young and exceptionally talented painter. At 12 he was the youngest member at the Heatherly School in Chelsea and completed his education in Florence, Italy at the Fine Art Academy.

His latest paintings are a new departure and have received a rapturous response, with several solo exhibitions already planned with Christie’s and the Albermarle Gallery, London. His contemporary use of calm, elegant colours and his mix of romanticism and nostalgic realism result in paintings with exceptional appeal for today’s collector. Источник .
Peregrine Heathcote's images of beautiful women stepping off bullet trains in addition to his Gatsby-esque characters embarking on luxurious voyages via vintage aircrafts and cruise ships, conjure a world of intoxicating glamour and intrigue. The artist uniquely blends a sense of nostalgia with the contemporary world while creating narrative stories in paint.
Born in London in 1973, Heathcote spent his childhood living in both Britain and Dubai where his imagination was free to flourish as he witnessed an international jet set culture. Hence it is no surprise that the artist's imagery reflects a provocative Silver Screen theatrical quality.
In 1995 Peregrine graduated from the Florence Academy of Art and since that time he has been profiled by the BBC in a documentary about his portraits resulting in international exposure. Notably, he has exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Academy, and Hampton Court. In addition his paintings have been auctioned at Christie's Auction House, King Street, London. Presently Peregrine is including Newbury Fine Arts as a primary source for his artwork in the East Coast of the United States.
