About Us

Segwood Galleries is the exclusive representative in South Australia for a diverse range of high-end designer furniture, lighting and homeware brands sourced locally and globally, as well as a selection of mid-career to highly established contemporary Australian artists. We also curate high-quality antiques and cultural items, with a particular focus on Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Africa, though we continuously seek out exceptional items from any culture.

Our mission is to present (in-situ) the best of human creativity and craftsmanship in art and design to both residential and commercial markets. We handpick, curate, and display each item in our contemporary gallery space to emphasize its unique qualities, celebrate aesthetic and cultural diversity, and provide insights into its provenance and significance.

DRILLER JET ARMSTRONG: Unfinished Business

Daubism began in 1991 with a single, explosive act: a white crop-circle symbol sprayed onto an inherited Charles Bannon landscape, by artist Driller Jet Armstrong. What followed was not a fad, a phase, or a prank — but a full art movement that continues more than three decades later, challenging ideas about ownership, authorship, territory, visibility and memory in Australian painting.

Daubism takes existing artworks — usually forgotten, discarded or devalued second-hand landscape paintings — and adds to them, rather than painting over them. A Daub is an intervention, not a deletion. The original artwork must remain visible. Its history must stay intact. And the new mark must sit with the painting, not replace it.

Unfinished Business is a Survey Exhibition exploring 30+ years of Duabism by Australian artist Driller Jet Armstrong.
