Gemma Smith, Double time, 2020. Acrylic on board, 137 x 117cm. Courtesy: the artist and Starkwhite, Auckland.

Starkwhite presents Thin Air, Australian artist Gemma Smith’s first solo exhibition at the gallery and the beginning of an ongoing relationship with Starkwhite.

Smith’s painting has presented colourful compositions of geometrical shapes and crystalline forms, bold and gesturally painted surfaces that create a dialogue between colour, form, and surface. Thin Air explores Smith’s experimentation with the language of painting, including both very pale or almost black art works exhibited alongside her characteristic gestural works.
