Timeline
Donald Hall Binney, (24 March 1940 – 14 September 2012), was a New Zealand painter, best known for his paintings of birds.
Born and raised in Auckland, Binney was educated in Parnell, Auckland, taking classes with John Weeks and R B Sibson, who became his good friend and guide to the field of ornithology.
From 1958 to 1961, he studied at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, gaining a Diploma of Fine Arts.
In 1962, Binney began painting at Te Henga, and views of Puketotara with indigenous birds became a common motif in his artworks.
In birdwatching, Binney said he discovered a passage into the landscape and the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with it.
Binney described himself as a figurative painter concerned with the psychic metaphor of the environment.
Working in oil, acrylic, charcoal, ink and carbon pencil, many of his works depict the west coast of Auckland and Northland, containing sea, sky, native birds, still life and occasionally, figures.
In 1963, he held his first solo exhibition at Ikon Gallery, Auckland and began teaching at Mount Roskill Grammar School, where he taught until 1966.
In 1965, Binney was included in a survey show of New Zealand painting, held in London and in the "Eight NZ Artists" touring show of Australian state galleries.
In 1967, he was the recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council travel fellowship.
He lived in Mexico, London and Australia, but returned to teach at Elam, becoming the senior lecturer in fine arts in 1979.
Binney has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand and was the subject of a thirty-year survey show at the Fisher Gallery, Pakuranga in 1989.
Binney was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to art, in the 1995 Queen's Birthday Honours.
He also had a retrospective exhibition curated by Damien Skinner that toured the country from 2003 to 2004.
His work is represented in many public collections including the Auckland Art Gallery, The University of Auckland and Te Papa.
He was appointed as one of Waitakere City's inaugural arts laureates in 2004.
Binney died of a heart attack while in hospital in Auckland for an unrelated illness on 14 September 2012, at the age of 72, and was survived by his second wife Philippa and daughter Mary.
