Gemma Smith’s ‘Shadow Glass’ continues in the Naam/Melbourne gallery, visit the viewing room via the link in bio to view the works. Smith layers gestural glazes, building painting over months to find compositions that seem to bloom, overlap, and shift across the surface. She considers painting as an open-ended process of feeling and discovering, allowing colour, light, material and gesture to guide the development of each work. @gemmasmithstudio Gemma Smith ‘Shadow Glass’ 08 Oct – 31 Oct Sullivan+Strumpf Naarm/Melbourne Pictured: Gemma Smith, Undertow, 2026, oil on linen, 180 x 180 cm.

“Like the experience of a stroll through the park, Gemma Smith’s recent paintings somehow embody a sense of generative vitality and life unfolding: a sense of becoming, and the deferral of formal resolution.” – Max Delany, 2026. In ‘Shadow Glass’, Smith extends her ongoing interest in colour and its sensory possibilities, moving between translucency, opacity, light and depth. Atmospheric fields of colour invite the eye to wander, with painterly gestures and material variations revealing themselves gradually through sustained looking. Opening Event Join us in the gallery for drinks with the artist to celebrate the exhibition Thursday 08 Oct, 6 – 8 PM Sullivan+Strumpf Naarm/Melbourne @gemmasmithstudio @maxdelany Pictured: Gemma Smith, Liquid Glass, acrylic on board, 51.5 x 61 cm.

Forthcoming to the gallery, Gemma Smith’s ‘Shadow Glass’ presents a new body of paintings. For more than two decades, Smith has developed a distinctive approach to painting. In ‘Shadow Glass’, her process becomes increasingly attentive to phenomena that "might otherwise escape notice — the shape of wind, movement of a body, the changing density of light,” writes independent curator Max Delany.

We are delighted to announce Gemma Smith's forthcoming solo exhibition, 'Shadow Glass', opening at the Naarm/Melbourne gallery on 08 Oct 26. To accompany this body of work, independent curator Max Delany has written an incisive exhibition text that explores the nuances of Smith's engaged and intuitive practice. "There is a particular kind of attentiveness at work in Gemma Smith’s recent paintings: an attentiveness to phenomena in a state of becoming, and to things that might otherwise escape notice – the shape of wind, the movement of a body, the changing density of light, the celebration of sunshine. Her paintings might be understood as accumulations of such experiences: sensory, phenomenological and material, alongside literary and philosophical reflections, gathered less according to a predetermined image or plan than through an experimental process of looking, feeling, wandering and wondering, given form through painterly mark-making." – Max Delany, 2026 Gemma Smith Shadow Glass 08 Oct – 31 Oct 26 Sullivan+Strumpf Naarm/Melbourne @gemmasmithstudio @maxdelany Pictured: Gemma Smith in the studio, 2026.
