Piers Maxwell Dudley-Bateman, also known as Piers Bateman, (born November 30, 1947), is an Australian landscape painter. He teaches as a Professor for painting at the Shanghai Institute of Visual Art in Shanghai, China.
Life
At the age of nine Bateman moved with his family to Victoria and grew up in the bohemian art community of Eltham, Victoria. Eltham is well known for its connection with Australian artists such as David Boyd, Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Albert Tucker, Neil Douglas, Matcham Skipper and Clif Pugh among many others. In 1966 Bateman left Australia for London where he commenced painting receiving encouragement from notable Australian artists David and Arthur Boyd.
On returning to Australia in 1968 Bateman was offered his first major exhibition at the newly opened Munster Arms Gallery. This exhibition received a warm response from the Melbourne Herald art critic Allan McCulloch. The resulting sales enabled the young Bateman to buy 30 acres of bush at St. Andrews on the out skirts of Melbourne where he built a studio of mud brick. This bush setting exerted a powerful influence on his work.
In the immediate following years he often visited the waterfront areas of Williamstown, Port Melbourne and Mornington, painting and developing a fascination for the sea. A painting from this time “Scallop Boats Mornington” was purchased by the Reserve Bank of Australia for its permanent collection.
Bateman became noticed by Australian art collectors and was recognised and encouraged by established artists such as Vic O’Conner and in particular who helped him establishes connections in the Sydney art community. An invitation to participate in a survey exhibition of Australian Art at the Cremorne Gallery Sydney and a painting acquired by the Caterpillar Foundation in Chicago further helped his growing recognition as an emerging landscape painter.
1988 Bateman was “discovered” by Andrew Peacock who at the time was fighting a close election with Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Peacock bought a collection of his works and later encouraged Bateman to visit the US when Peacock became the Australian Ambassador in Washington. The Australian Embassy subsequently 1998 acquired two paintings, one of them a bush mural for the conference room. 1999 he was invited to be the Australian representative at the International Contemporary Art Fair I, also known as MARB ART in Marbella Spain.
