The Colorful Canvas of Diversity

JGM Gallery

JGM Gallery, a leading art gallery in London, was founded in 2017 by Jennifer Guerrini Maraldi, a specialist in the art of First Nations Australians. Born in Melbourne, Australia, Guerrini Maraldi has over 20 years of experience in collecting, dealing, and promoting Aboriginal artists and Art Centres across Australia. Her passion for Aboriginal art and culture is reflected in the gallery's mission to shed light on the art and history of First Nations artists, focusing on the use of sacred processes and traditional techniques.

The gallery is located in the heart of London and is known for its unique exhibition program that juxtaposes Aboriginal and British contemporary art. This approach seeks to counter the pervasive and misplaced perception that the art of First Nations Australians is homogenous. In the words of Guerrini Maraldi, "The styles of this movement's leading figures are as varied, complex and sophisticated as any in the Western Canon."

JGM Gallery has been recognized for its commitment to ethical trade in Aboriginal Art, supporting economic development in remote communities. The gallery maintains direct relationships with Aboriginal Art Centres, providing the correct provenance and documentation relating to the work of First Nations Australians. This commitment to authenticity, integrity, and value is reflected in its membership in The Aboriginal Art Association of Australia and the Indigenous Art Code.

The gallery has hosted numerous notable exhibitions, including "Aak Keenkanam: From The Beginning," an exhibition of paintings and sculptures from the Wik & Kugu Arts Centre, and "Creature Comforts," a group show of daring contemporary textiles featuring 14 artists. These exhibitions have not only showcased the diverse talents of Aboriginal artists but also contributed to a greater awareness of significant contemporary Australian art.

Works from JGM Gallery have been acquired by various prestigious institutions, including the British Museum, Fondation Opale, The Howden Corporate Collection, and The White & Case Corporate Collection. They have also sold to significant domestic and international collections, further cementing the gallery's reputation as a premier venue for Australian Aboriginal Art.

JGM Gallery stands as a testament to the rich and diverse art of First Nations Australians. Its commitment to showcasing this art, fostering relationships with institutions, and maintaining a dynamic exhibition program has solidified its status as a leading institution in the contemporary art world. As it looks to the future, JGM Gallery will undoubtedly continue to champion the work of contemporary artists and contribute to the global discourse on contemporary art.
