3-23 February 2025
Jeff Brown’s first exhibition with Bowen Galleries was in 1984, a group show with his fellow Wellington City Art Gallery technician’s, Shane Wallace & Dave Thompson. Solo shows followed in 1985-6. In 1987 with assistance from QEII Arts Council, Jeff exhibited with fellow artists Michael Cubey, Shane Wallace,Catherine Bagnall & Tony Davy at 1-9 Bowen Street, Wellington.
At this time Jeff was an exhibition technician at the National Art Gallery alongside other well known Wellingtonians including Rob Cherry, where they frequently handled McMahon’s Northland panels. He was also an early Paramount winner of the Wallace Art Awards in 1993.
After exhibiting frequently throughout New Zealand in the 80s and 90s, and in keeping with his artistic inclination towards construction and materials, Brown now co-directs Workshop E, specialising in the construction and delivery of exhibitions and visitor attractions for museums and galleries including Te Kōngahu | Waitangi Museum & Te Ray Aroha | 28th Maori Battalion Museum.
He currently lives with his partner Az James in Whangarei, Northland.
