Stephen Bambury

Stephen Bambury (born 1951) is Christchurch-born, Auckland-based abstract painter.[1][2]

After graduating from the Elam School of Fine Art at the University of Auckland, Bambury received two Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Grants and a residency at Victoria College, in Melbourne, Australia.

He had a long-running relationship with Andrew Jensen,[3] whose gallery hosted a number of exhibitions featuring Bambury.[4][5] His abstract oils have "no decorative, naturalistic, metaphoric or autobiographical references or intents"[6]

He is widely held in public art museums in New Zealand, with Te Papa having 15 pieces and correspondence,[7] Auckland Art Gallery having 12 pieces[8] and Christchurch Art Gallery 3 pieces.[9]
