Artwork Description

The inspiration for this painting was a walk through a bamboo garden in Kyoto. The intention for this piece was for a more subtle palette and diffused light, compared to an Australian landscape. The rhythm of the composition invites the viewer to move through the paintings at a slower, quieter pace.
Each painting in this triptych measures 152 cm x 91cm x 3.5 cm, oil and acrylic, and signed on the back. The sides are painted ecru and only quality materials are used. A certificate of authenticity is included.
Kyoto Contemplation will arrive to you with each painting ready to hang individually. There are framing options on this page which can be added at checkout. You may choose to frame each painting separately or frame all 3 together as one extra-large piece. This triptych will be professionally packaged and couriered, insurance and shipping included.
Kyoto Contemplation is an original artwork that will not be made available as a reproduction print at any time, ever.

Ann Needham’s distinctive style could best be described as an abstract representation of an internal state, of feelings or emotions, made visible through her exploration of color, line, texture and the human form.
Needham has a background in fashion, textile design and psychology, with a Master Degree in Art Therapy MArtTher. Over the years each of these areas have merged to shape and inform her unique style and process.

Needham’s works range from large scale statement pieces to smaller, more intimate works. Needham works predominately in acrylics, because they suit her tendency for spontaneity. They have a tactile aesthetic because she values the look of the human touch, which she believes helps forge a deeper connection and understanding with the viewer.

Ann Needham grew up on the New South Wales South Coast and is now based in Brisbane. She has previously been represented by Gannon House Gallery in The Rocks in Sydney. Needham’s paintings are held in collections across Australia, England, Singapore and the USA including works held by the City of Hope Treatment and Research Hospital, Orange County California, and have been featured in Home Design Magazine publication 2025.
