Geoffrey Todd Smith

Geoffrey Todd Smith creates complex, rule-based abstractions that place him firmly within the orbit of modern American art, but with a wandering eye to the future. His vision is guided by self-imposed limitations that instill order to an otherwise meandering dream-like process. The result is a stylish eruption of concentrated color and form, enveloped in a hand-drawn web of doodled spikes and ruffles and embedded with a rhythmic plague of polka dotted interference. The playfully constructed titles for each work provide an additional climate of atmosphere and mood without completely revealing a narrative. Smith works with a range of media including gel pens, graphite, collage, enamel paint, acrylic and oil.
