MICHAEL GIBSON GALLERY

PRESS RELEASE

“This is our 6th exhibition with Montreal painter Michael Smith. Our exhibition explores a small survey of canvases ranging in date from 2014 – 2020 from seascapes to landscapes to a dynamic new triptych.

Michael Smith’s paintings investigate the relationship between image and abstraction. Interested in illusions of illuminated space, he explores how light can be both incidental and instrumental in painting. Using an expressive impasto, Smith creates a visual language that tells a history of moments where atmospheric conditions have made claims on particular places.”
