Andrew Drummond's About Balance & Occupation - a must to experience!
1 November, 2018  It's a rare occasion for those who enter a gallery to be invited to play with the artworks, but Andrew Drummond's stunning installation in our front space offers exactly this. Visitors are encouraged to touch, to move, to engage with the substance and grace of the artist's delicately poised objects as they respond to the stroke of a hand. About Balance & Occupation needs to be experienced in the space for which it was created. Make sure you don't miss it - it runs for just 9 more days!

Julia Morison at the Auckland Art Fair16 May, 2018  Headcase 81 & 80, 2018
For the upcoming Auckland Art Fair May 23rd - 27th, 2018 Jonathan Smart Gallery is delighted to be working with recent New Years Honour recipient, Julia Morison. It will be a solo presentation of new work. Julia’s Auckland Art Fair presentation combines different threads of her current visual research: ceramic headcase works, small quirky and cagelike sculptures, and painting at times exuberantly figurative and sometimes suggestively abstract. It will be clear in the installation, but these works are all linked by the grid, and a playful yet visceral sense of form and materials.
To preview the works by Julia Morison for Jonathan Smart Gallery and the Auckland Art Fair online use the Artsy link below: https://www.artsy.net/show/jonathan-smart-gallery-jonathan-smart-gallery-at-auckland-art-fair-2018
