In contrast, 82 Extinction — a larger work at 95 x 180 cm — engages with themes of fragility and loss. Drawing on nostalgic references to mid-century toys and cultural artefacts, the painting meditates on the impermanence of life and the cumulative impact of humanity on the natural world. Through its vivid imagery and expansive composition, Extinction bridges personal memory with universal concern. Read more about “Extinction”

The inclusion of two early works—“2 Special Guest” and “3 Surprise”—at the Boyd-Dunlop Gallery in Napier offers a fascinating contrast to Jones’s later pieces. These paintings, part of the very beginning of his 1 in 100 project, retain a graphic sensibility reflective of his design school background,
In “Special Guest”, a red tablecloth anchors the composition like velvet on a stage. Two glasses catch the light. A gift waits, perfectly wrapped. White lilies rise in a tall vase, luminous inside a crisp triangle of sunlight. The greens are rich and inviting, and the whole scene radiates anticipation — the feeling of being just before something wonderful happens. It’s a painting about welcome, about atmosphere, about the poetry of preparing for someone.
“Surprise” takes that same precision and turns it into narrative. A half-open door frames the scene. Sunlight cuts across the wall like a spotlight. On the ledge sits an open ring box — quiet but electric — beside a lush spill of flowers and poised candles. Above, a painting within a painting mirrors intimacy, deepening the emotional charge. The palette cools, the shadows lengthen, and suspense becomes tangible.
Together, these works offer a rare pairing: invitation and revelation. Buy one for elegance — buy both for a story.

The Captain sits calmly in the shallows, a small but assured presence in a world scaled far larger than itself. Schuco’s Nautico electric motor yacht is the undisputed hero of this painting, its crisp blue deckhouse, white hull, and maroon detailing cutting cleanly through the dark, pebbled water below. There is confidence in its design. Nothing flashy, nothing wasted. A compass mounted proudly on the front deck quietly reminds us that this vessel is built with purpose: it knows where it is going, even if the journey itself is imagined.

Finally, “58 Light Air”—offered directly by the artist—brings a lighter, more ethereal quality to the group. At 75 x 95 cm, this painting’s title and dimensions suggest an intimate encounter with atmosphere and colour that is at once delicate and profound. The artist’s attention to the subtleties of light, often pairing serene surfaces with deeper emotional undercurrents, would be especially evident here.
