As we make our way through the latent winter months, there is renewed love for the changeable wild British landscape. Told through the eyes of second generation Scottish oil painter Jonathan Smith, KMA invites viewers to get lost in the magic of rivers, chalk-paths, dewponds and hills of his latest collection.

Hung across both floors of our Church Street gallery, the bones of Sussex are close to the surface in Jonathan’s latest body of work. For him, moments out in the landscape when the present dissolves, and the past rises up, leaving us with some sense of deep time, layers of human experience from the Neolithic through to the present.
