James Whitington is a master printmaker and artist whose work moves fluidly between the figurative and the abstract. His etching 'Ren II' is a striking example of this approach: driven by a fascination with gestural mark-making, the composition unfolds as a series of infinite illusions - a landscape suggested, a body or face emerging, a gust of wind passing through.

Informed by decades of technical expertise, Whitington’s marks possess both precision and freedom. His background as a master printmaker underpins the work’s depth and control, while allowing space for instinct and creative impulse to take hold.

Whitington has exhibited widely and is represented in numerous regional and tertiary collections. From 1977 to 2000, he worked closely with a number of distinguished Australian artists, including Brett Whiteley, Charles Blackman, Tim Storrier, and David and Arthur Boyd - a formative period that further shaped his command of the medium.

For collectors drawn to abstract and gestural art, particularly works on paper, 'Ren II' is a compelling and spellbinding acquisition.
