71 The Captain stands as a commanding presence within the series. Painted in oil on fine portrait linen, this 95 x 125 cm work invites viewers into a narrative rich with character and nuance, where light and composition articulate the persona at its heart. Its scale and confident brushwork speak to a mature artistic voice that balances formal strength with emotional depth. Read more about “The Captain”
In contrast, 82 Extinction — a larger 95 x 180 cm oil on linen — engages with themes of fragility and loss. Drawing upon nostalgic references to mid-century toys and cultural artefacts, the painting suggests a meditation 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.

At Flagstaff Gallery in Devonport, #68, Karman, presents a nostalgic moment suspended between memory and design. At its heart lies a toy version of the classic Volkswagen Karmann Ghia — a 1970s MF-743 vintage tin-toy lovingly enlarged into cinematic presence. Set against a mid-century modern backdrop of glass, sunlight and butterfly chairs, the composition evokes an era where clarity of form and optimistic colour shaped both objects and our recollections of them. Lush foliage and floating lilies contrast the clean geometry of architecture, inviting the viewer to wander through a playful dreamscape where the familiar becomes quietly extraordinary.
