Bennett Oates was born in London in 1928. He had a broad interest in painting and examples of his portraiture, landscape and animal paintings can be found in many private collections, but it is his flower paintings that have made his reputation.Now acknowledged as one of the finest artists who have worked in this genre in the world, his draughtsmanship and technique bears comparison with the best of the Dutch School. But, it is his use of the gentler English hues where strong colours are used `jewel-like' in conjunction with white and pastel shades that produce the subtle quality and restrained taste that make his paintings unique.
