Peregrine Heathcote

Peregrine Heathcote’s paintings conjure a world of intoxicating glamour and intrigue, slipping across the boundaries of time to fuse iconic pre-war design with modern conceptions of beauty and silver screen romance. The images could depict a dream world—the pure artistic vision of a painter fascinated with the bygone glamour of his parents’ youth and his own childhood spent in Britain and Dubai, but also by the contemporary incarnation of glamour in an international jet-set culture. The images could be literal representations of actors on movie sets, or real-life models letting their contemporary sensibilities peek through as they pose against period backdrops. Heathcote was born in London in 1973. He graduated from the Florence Fine Art Academy in 1994 and began his professional career as a working artist in 1995. Since then, he has completed over 100 commissions, including of royals such as Prince Jefri of Brunei and the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans.
