“Jan Senbergs is an extraordinary inventor of his own visual language, at once simple and bold…his body of work signifies an artist who has continually experimented with shape, form and motif…” Tony Ellwood
Jan Senbergs was born in Latvia and arrived in Australia in 1950. He completed an apprenticeship in silk-screen printing and began exhibiting in the early 1960s. In 1966 he held his first exhibition at Rudy Komon Gallery in Sydney.
Jan Senbergs has been the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, including the Dobell Prize from the Art Gallery of NSW in 1995. He received an Honorary Award in the Doctor of Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and was the recipient of the Helena Rubenstein Travelling Art Scholarship in 1966. He is the subject of the major monograph entitled Voyage and Landfall by Patrick McCaughey.
