Halcyon's picture

President of Halcyon Gallery, Paul Green, originally founded the gallery in Birmingham in 1982. Out of that gallery has grown a multi-faceted organisation, the Halcyon Group, which includes Halcyon Gallery and the award-winning fine art publisher Washington Green.

Paul Green’s original concentration on the human element of art – working with outstanding artists and equally extraordinary clients from all walks of life – still holds true today. Halcyon Gallery makes a longterm investment in the artists it works with, developing them and giving them a platform and the freedom to be creative. The gallery works closely with a number of artists, from Spanish painter Ibanez, whose work invites comparison with Zuburan and Velazquez, to the late great eccentric Rober t Lenkeiwicz. The sculptor Lorenzo Quinn, whose exhibition launched the new gallery at 24 Bruton Street has been working with Halcyon Galler y for over ten years. Halcyon Gallery plays a pivotal role in developing and placing public art, including a number of major commissions in cities around the world. In 2005, the gallery donated Lorenzo Quinn’s sculpture, The Tree of Life, to the City of Birmingham, in memory of those citizens who lost their lives during the blitz on Birmingham in the Second World War. Halcyon Gallery is also involved in a number of projects further a field including the installation of the monumental 9 metre Rise Through Education by Lorenzo Quinn at ASPIRE, Academy for Sports Excellence in Doha, Qatar.
