Findlay Galleries is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Amy Magee (b. 1997), a British artist whose work brings together intuition, landscape, and art-historical memory. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and artistic heritage of the South of France, Magee reinterprets classical principles of composition and light through the language of contemporary abstraction, creating a dialogue between place, tradition, and expression.

After relocating from an urban environment to the luminous stillness of Provence, Magee’s palette and sensibility shifted markedly. Engaging with the European tradition of trompe l’œil, she reimagines the language of landscape—gesture, pigment, and perspective—through sweeping contrasts and spatial rhythms. Her process begins with brief encounters with classical paintings, later reconstructed through intuition, resulting in compositions where passages of detail dissolve into raw, tactile paint. Petal-like forms, atmospheric veils, and gestural flourishes drift across imagined terrains, creating works that function as visual memories—fleeting experiences slowed into paint.

Magee holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Exeter and completed a residency at the New York School of Visual Arts; her work has been exhibited in London, New York, and Florence and is held in private collections worldwide.

Belynda Henry

Findlay Galleries is pleased to present Living Palette, a major exhibition of new paintings by the distinguished Australian artist Belynda Henry. This presentation marks her most extensive showing in the United States to date and her fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, following acclaimed presentations in Palm Beach and New York.

Widely recognized as one of Australia’s leading contemporary landscape painters and a multiple finalist for both the Wynne and Archibald Prizes, Henry brings to her art a refined synthesis of observation and emotion. Living and working in a lush valley north of Sydney, she draws continual inspiration from the natural world—the subtle shifts of light, the rhythms of the seasons, and the quiet resonance of the landscape.

Henry employs a distinctive technique that combines oil and wax, built up in multiple layers to create surfaces of remarkable depth and tactility. The result is a body of work with an unmistakably earthy presence. Her palette of soft pastels, enlivened by luminous bursts of color, conveys both serenity and vitality. Through her loose, layered application, Henry achieves a graceful interplay between abstraction and landscape, evoking movement, distance, and the passage of time.

In Living Palette, Henry deepens her exploration of the dialogue between abstraction and the natural world. Her process begins outdoors, through plein-air observation, and evolves in the studio, where memory, emotion, and intuition re-imagine what she has seen. The result is an expressive language of color and form that transcends depiction, transforming direct experience into atmosphere.

Each painting embodies Henry’s sense of happiness and wonder—qualities that are felt rather than declared. The vitality within her work emerges organically from her engagement with nature and from her belief that painting is a living conversation between artist, subject, and viewer.

To live with these paintings is to share in that vitality. Their presence fills a space with quiet energy, inviting reflection and renewal. Joy and beauty here are not static ideals, but ever-shifting forces—alive in color, texture, and the spirit that shaped them.

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul

Timeless Elegance – New York

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul (b. 1935, Paris) stands as one of the most distinctive voices in post-war French painting, celebrated for his poetic depictions of women, gardens, and domestic interiors. Known for a refined chromatic sensibility and an unmistakable lyrical restraint, Cassigneul’s canvases evoke a world of quiet introspection, intimacy, and cultivated elegance. His favored subjects—often women in wide-brimmed hats, seated in reflective interiors or bathed in dappled sunlight—occupy a realm suspended between modernity and nostalgia.

Cassigneul held his first solo exhibition at seventeen and pursued formal studies at the Académie Charpentier and the École des Beaux-Arts under Jean Souverbie, later apprenticing in the studio of Roger Chapelain-Midy. In 1959, he was appointed to the Salon d’Automne, marking his early recognition among France’s post-war artistic circles. His affinities with Bonnard, Vuillard, and the expressive vibrancy of Kees van Dongen informed a visual language defined by luminous palettes, bold contours, and a distinctive graphic clarity that often recalls the aesthetics of woodblock printing and Nabis-era colorism.

Cassigneul’s career developed in close dialogue with international audiences. He first exhibited with Wally Findlay in 1968, inaugurating a transatlantic relationship that helped introduce his work to American collectors throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Over subsequent decades, he exhibited widely across Europe, the United States, and Japan, where his work continues to enjoy exceptional popularity. His paintings are held in notable private and public collections, including the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris and the Izu Lake Ippeki Museum, Japan.

Timeless Elegance, presented by Findlay Galleries, marks Cassigneul’s first solo exhibition in the United States in 40 years. The works featured in the exhibition attest to the maturity of his late style, in which luminous harmonies of color and expressive linearity coalesce into compositions of emotional clarity and understated restraint. These recent paintings reaffirm Cassigneul’s longstanding pursuit of capturing fleeting instants—moments, in his own words, “of reflection and silence”—and preserving them through a timeless visual language.

Chuang Che

Rediscovered Works

Born in Peiping (now Beijing) in 1934, Chuang Che established an international reputation for his innovative synthesis of Eastern and Western painting traditions. The son of renowned scholar, calligrapher, and Palace Museum director Chuang Yen, he was introduced to classical Chinese painting and calligraphy at an early age. After completing his studies in the Fine Arts Department at National Taiwan Normal University from 1954 to 1957, Che received a J.D. Rockefeller III Fund travel grant in 1966 that enabled him to study in the United States and travel throughout Europe. In 1973, he and his wife moved to the United States, settling first in Ann Arbor, Michigan, before relocating to Yonkers, near New York City, in 1987. His paintings are now held in numerous international museum collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts, Shanghai Art Museum, Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Musée Cernuschi in Paris, and the Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, Kansas.

In Che’s work, elegant and spontaneous lines derived from Chinese calligraphy merge with broad gestural brushwork, spatters, and drips influenced by Abstract Expressionism. His palette—burnt umber, emerald green, lavender, and turquoise blue, animated by sweeping black lines—evokes the rhythms and forms of the natural world. As the artist has observed: “Through daily contact and experience, the brush strokes and script variations in calligraphy have now become a part of my creative soul. What I want to do is to rediscover the original nature of calligraphy. Wouldn’t it be truly magnificent to use the strokes of the running cursive to depict the mountains and rivers?”

Findlay Galleries is proud to debut nine monumental works on paper by Chuang Che, exhibited here publicly for the first time. Created in 1993, these works were carefully set aside by the artist soon after their completion and remained unseen for more than three decades until their recent rediscovery during a visit to his home. Their vibrant colors remain in pristine condition, retaining a striking immediacy: pigment surges, pools, and disperses with elemental force as dense formations of black and charcoal are balanced by luminous passages of turquoise, mineral green, and flashes of yellow that animate the surface.

Here, gesture becomes structure. Calligraphic arcs sweep across the paper or dissolve into atmospheric washes, while saturated passages yield to translucency, allowing the ground to breathe. Forms evoke stone, water, and shifting terrain without becoming descriptive, emerging and receding in a dynamic interplay of mass and void. Monumental in scale and presence, these works stand as fully realized statements—records of speed, pressure, and movement that preserve a vivid energy held in suspension, at once controlled and spontaneous, lyrical and commanding.
