Boyd-Dunlop Gallery

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.
