Jonathan Grant Galleries, Peter McIntyre Exhibition, 2018 

McIntyre and his wife, Patty, travelled to the United States of America to paint and write for his self titled book, Peter McIntyre’s West. Their journey would take them “as far south as the Mexican border, east to New Mexico, and as far north as Alaska – a journey covering somewhere around 20,000 miles”. Their journey through the American heart- land led McIntyre to expand his painting practice. McIntyre’s voyage through America allowed the artist to explore new subject matters and painterly techniques and it is this exploration that has led to the innovations in artistic style visible in McIntyre’s West works. 

After McIntyre’s incredible journey through the United States of America, the artist felt a certain affinity with the country and wrote; “Lingering with us was a profound love of the American West, the most incredible area on the surface of the earth, and of people who had been more kindly than any other we have ever travelled among.”

Jonathan Gooderham

Jonathan Gooderham established his first Gallery, Jonathan Grant Gallery, in 1984. Jonathan has dealt in traditional and contemporary paintings of the highest quality from the 18th through to the 21st Century. He assists collectors to select quality art pieces, providing a scholarly background to each painting, advising on framing, hanging, insurance and all other aspects of collecting.

In 1989 Jonathan purchased ARTIS Gallery and moved both galleries to their current location at 280 Parnell Road, Parnell, right in the heart of the Creative Quarter of Auckland City. Today Jonathan Grant Gallery & ARTIS Gallery sit side by side offering clients a selection of both classical and contemporary art. In 2012 a third gallery space was developed to exhibit the gallery’s sculpture collection. The Basement Gallery offers clients the opportunity to view large scale sculptures and paintings from the stockroom.

Jonathan has also undertaken extensive research on the works of New Zealand expatriate artist, Frances Hodgkins.
