Fiona Lowry joins Sydney Gallery

N.Smith Gallery expands its stable with Archie winner.

Words: Erin Irwin

Sydney’s N.Smith Gallery has announced it now represents Sydney-based artist Fiona Lowry, who is best known for her thoughtful and atmospheric paintings executed in monochromatic palettes. By utilising an airbrush, Lowry imbues her works with an emotive, dreamlike quality that often possess an underlying feeling of disquiet.

Lowry comes to the gallery with a remarkable list of accolades already under her belt. The artist has won the Archibald Prize, the Moran Portrait Prize, and the Fleurieu Landscape Prize, and has been a finalist in the Sulman prize, the Wynne Prize, and the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award. She has exhibited extensively across Australia and internationally, and her works can be found in several important public collections – most notably those of the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, the University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane, and Artbank, Sydney.

N.Smith will be presenting her first solo show with the gallery in 2025.
