Joey Vaessen (JVG) is an Auckland based art dealer who represents a small group of New Zealand artists. JVG only curates one exclusive exhibition per year often converting unique buildings into amazing gallery spaces around the Auckland CBD. Established in 2010, JVG has been promoting and selling paintings by some of New Zealand’s most talented artists. Joey first discovered New Zealand art working in his father's gallery - a 100 year building which he helped transform into a fine arts gallery. It was here JV found his passion for showing and selling art. I love the thrill of pulling off a quality show and the satisfaction of watching the public go through the motions of being affected by an amazing work. The gallery was showing works by artists such as John Walsh, Shane Cotton, Ralph Hotere, Gabriel Belz, Simon kaan, Israel Birch, Wellesley Binding and Loui Morell some of these artists JVG represents today.
