Julian Smith

My art celebrates colour and nature.

I’m interested in how colour can have a subtle effect on our moods -how it soothes, energises and resonates differently for each person.

I use minimalist forms, reduced & distilled to their pure essence, rendered as silhouettes, like the residue of fading memories.

I want to explore the possibilities of a monochromatic palette over an expansive field of colour.

My recent paintings hint at the ephemeral nature of existence ~ fading light in the fleeting moments of time.

私の芸術は色と自然を賞賛します。

私は色がどのように #私たちの気分に巧みな影響を与えるか興味を持っています。

それはどのように和らげるか、各個人ごとに異なり鳴り響くか。

私は、色の拡張するフィールド(スペース/エリア)上の単色のパレットの可能性を探りたい。

私の最近の絵は、存在の短命な性質をほのめかします〜時間の束の間の瞬間の弱まっている光。

Solace

2006 Julian's work was used by the New Zealand post-rock band 'JAKOB', for the album cover of the 2006 release entitled 'Solace'.

Neurosis - A sun that never sets.

Elements of Julian's video work were included in the DVD release 'A sun that never sets' by legendary San Francisco band 'NEUROSIS', and in live visual projections for the band, as well as an art installation by 'Tribes of Neurot' at the Crucible steel gallery in San Francisco in 2002.
