Michael Reid x La Cornue | Joanna Gambotto

For the Autumn iteration of our seasonal collaboration between Michael Reid Sydney and luxury kitchen brand La Cornue, we have selected Polish-born, Sydney-based painter, Joanna Gambotto.

The first dedicated Australian La Cornue showroom opened in Surry Hills last year, designed by our friends at Thomas Hamel & Associates. The exquisite finishes of this showroom provides a fitting backdrop for the paintings of Gambotto, who works with rich oils on board.

Autumn is a collection of ten still life/interiors (the subject for which the artist is best known and for which she was awarded ‘Peoples Choice’ at the 2022 Dobell Drawing Prize) that move from her studio to the nooks and quiet corners of her home.

Gambotto’s domestic interiors are a wunderkammer of things – eclectic toys, utensils, furnishings and books. Her largest works appear to possess the same vastness as landscapes, as though the hallways and rooms recede forever into the horizon. The smallest pieces are testaments to the wonder of ordinary things, in much the same vein as Elisabeth Cummings and Margaret Preston before her.

Joanna Gambotto’s paintings are viewable on-site and by private appointment at La Cornue, Sydney
14 Foveaux St, Surry Hills NSW 2010
