A place to sit. A book to open. A little world to disappear into.

The language of unseen relations between things, 2025. Oil on linen, Tasmanian oak tray frame 325 x 325mm

Aida Smith works in professional grade oil paints using a solvent-free approach that keeps her practice in harmony with the world she captures. She chooses not to varnish her paintings, preferring the soft and natural finish of oil paint.

James Watkins on The simple weight of everything: The work brings together three distinct interventions: the blue underpainting, quick fluid gestures in soft pastel, and reductive yellow paint. None of the line work has any corrective mistakes, keeping the sensibility of the line alive — floating, embryonic, freed.

The simple weight of everything, 2025. Oil and soft pastel on canvas. To***co stained Meranti tray frame, 405 x 505mm

As days pass us by and the seasons change, it is a gift to be able to crop into the details of our daily landscapes. A kitchen table surrounded by family, or the bush as we traverse up into its hills - there is tangibility of time and much needed stillness to be found in both Aida Smith and Benjamin Cotter Dephoff’s canvases. This is the last week of ‘A Place to Sit’ - come and see before it’s gone!
