This exhibition is available to view online here.

Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Jeremy is a consummate painter, and an extremely good draughtsman. It shows in the work. Endearing, playful and elegant - his subject matter in this series consists of birds and animals, painted in an imaginary setting at dusk, within a rich, moody, and magical landscape.

This body of work by Jeremy is really an ongoing extension of his last Australian show, which also featured wildlife. They're not illustrations so much as distinct personalities that occupy a world seemingly devoid of people. Jeremy is quite interested in allowing our deep primal human instincts to connect to these creatures at an observational level - through empathy, humour or joy - but also allow them to 'stay wild' in their own way, so we become passive viewers rather than active participants in their lives.

These are joyful paintings created to offer us an escape. To new places. Away from old memories. And towards infinite moments of possibility.

– Scott Lawrie, Director
