Jennifer Pinder is an Australian abstract artist with studios in Sydney and Palma de Mallorca. Her colour-saturated and richly textural paintings hang in boardrooms, homes and public spaces around the world.
Pinder focuses on the power of colour to enrich the senses, offering both a space for contemplation and a welcoming presence. She balances meticulous line work with free-flowing cascades of varying hues, often utilizing simple patterns to explore the movement of hand-drawn elements. Her mediums range from the saturated tones of oil paint to the calm transparency of watercolor.
Until her move to Qatar in late 2009, Pinder enjoyed a longstanding association with the Libby Edwards Galleries, exhibiting her works and executing commissions for high-profile clients. Commissions from this period include a series of paintings for the public spaces of Hayman Island, Queensland, one of the world’s finest five star resorts.
In January 2011, Pinder held her first Middle Eastern-based exhibition, “Unique Perspectives” at the art space of the Grand Hyatt, Doha. The exhibition opening drew the biggest crowd ever at the space with a host of dignitaries from across the Middle East in attendance. Whilst living in Qatar, she enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Anima gallery at The Pearl, Doha - this relationship generated a number of commissioned works for prominent families in the region.
In February/March 2012, Pinder’s paintings were shown at the Agora Gallery, in the heart of Manhattan's art district. The collective "Substance of Abstraction" exhibition was highly successful and Pinder's work was showcased on the front and back cover of the prestigious New York arts magazine ArtisSpectrum May/June issue. New York called again the following year in 2013 and she showed with Creative Concepts in the "Elements of Expression” exhibition in Chelsea.
Pinder was soon invited to exhibit at the ‘Liberated Dreams’ annual Trevisan International Art Exhibition in Ferrara, Italy, where she won the Lucrezia Borgia Prize. This exhibition began a long standing association with Trevisan International and Pinder worked with them again in 2014 showing at the Synchronies exhibition in Madrid, Spain.
Moving back to Australia in 2013, Pinder began a long standing relationship with David and Yuge Bromley at Bromley and Co. resulting in a solo exhibition in 2017.
Pinder now lives and works between Sydney and Palma de Mallorca, moving between two studios and two distinct creative communities. She paints primarily on a direct and commission basis, collaborating closely with private collectors, interior designers and corporate clients on pieces scaled and composed for their spaces.
