September 7 – October 2, 2010
Artist’s Reception: Sat. Sept. 11th, 3–6 PM
“Two singular accomplishments lie at the heart of Linda Smith's art. First she is a visionary, but with her feet firmly on the ground. Second she defies conventional wisdom by exhibiting sculpture along with her paintings and drawings. Rather than confusion, a lively dialogue ensues from this.
Her art is essentially about communication and human relationships. There is urgency in her work about the whole human condition…Although she presents her narratives with great clarity; the precise meaning of a painting can remain a tantalizing mystery. …Henry James advised that a writer should be ‘someone on whom nothing is lost’. If the test also applies to visual artists, Linda Smith passes with flying colors.”
