Cary Smith SplatSplat #16, 2010, 36" x 36", oil on linen

Cary Smith
We Are the Dollars and Cents

Best known for his geometric abstract paintings, Smith debuts a new body of work.

Artist Statement:

I try to squeeze everything that I possibly can into something so seemingly simple.

I don't try to think of something to say with my art, I follow the work, and ask it to lead me to its most intense place.

I'm interested in:

Courage
Loyalty
Generosity
Compassion
Fear
Anxiety
Pain
Weakness
Love
Kindness
Humanity
Awareness

 

Is it possible today, to make abstraction that is relevant?
