Not unlike the dreams he credits with inspiring his work...
Smith paints in a fever of remembrance and memory. The US American master of oil painting developed his own language in art. Translating his imagination through his work, mysticism and metaphor. Blending surrealism into the physical world, he speaks of life and nature, with playful imagery and fragments of dream like subject matter.
His paintings often present landscapes with the unexpected...
chairs, birds, butterflies and clouds; an imaginaire world.
Where one can imagine the existance of a parallel universe,
a virtual reality in which fantasy and reality are fused on canvas.
