JENNIFER SMYTH
ARTIST
A fine art printmaker, photographer and painter, my work forms a nexus that explores the themes of cultural nostalgia, collective memory, societal change and urban development. From 2024 I was drawn to photogravure - the combination of photography and fine art printmaking, and my first solo show: Monuments and Momentos captured ancient monuments, epic landscapes and mementos of modern-day Egypt, Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, immersing you in the beauty and granduer through the subtle lens of photogravure. View the Monuments and Momentos works.
For over two decades, I have been fascinated with urban form and cityscapes, and my prints and paintings draw inspiration from my immersion in Melbourne's inner urban environment combined with insights gained from my Urban planning studies. These works capture the essence of a simpler time in Melbourne's history that is distinctly physical and analogue, a time before digitisation and globalisation invaded and evolved the cultural pulse of the city.
My prints are available for purchase framed or unframed. Please have a look in my Shop for unframed prints, or get in contact.
