New Paintings

Across August and September, Michael Reid Sydney will exhibit the latest series of luminous still life paintings by celebrated Brisbane-based artist, John Honeywill.

Honeywill’s practice is propelled by the elusive, ineffable power of objects that hold his eye. By isolating these affinities against ambiguous, radiant planes, Honeywill manages to render his subjects with a meticulous precision that approaches the hyperreal. From sugary sweets to vessels enclosing peonies, magnolias or fruits, the artist’s closely observed subjects all appear lit from within.

This is John Honeywill’s fifth solo exhibition with the Gallery and his second in our Chippendale gallery space. New Paintings by John Honeywill will exhibit between 15 August and 14 September, with an opening reception occurring on Thursday 15 August, 6-8pm. The artist will be in attendance. Our event is open to all and will be sponsored by Sammy Piquant.
