Ed Smith "Disasters, Republican Landscapes and New Forms"
Robert Steele Gallery
This event has ended.
Ed Smith's work is an extension of his belief in the dignity of labor and the inherent integrity of conflict. These aspects of the human condition are the subjects of "Disasters" and "Republican Landscapes", two series of monotypes evoking the anguish, pain, and terror of man's inhumanity to man and, ultimately, of his own inner struggles. Smith further addresses questions of moral judgment with "New Forms", a series of cast bronze "heroic" figures symbolizing the dilemma of man trapped in an age of irony. Critic D.D. Lombardi has likened Smith to a "modern-day Albert Pinkham Ryder"; playwright Edward Albee has called Smith's work "powerful, provocative and disturbing."
