Cary Smith
We Are the Dollars and Cents
October 21, 2010 - December 12, 2010
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?
