Robert Smith "The GRAND minute"
Viridian Artists, Inc.
This event has ended.
Smith relates a narrative of his mind’s eye consciousness within each image. The uncropped photographs are all comprised of relative close-ups of the undisturbed landscape in Point Lobos State Reserve in Carmel, California and on Monhegan Island, Maine. If you would accompany Smith on his journey through the landscape, chances are you would not be aware of what he is seeing. He has practiced a discipline, “Sensory Awareness,” for more than four decades. It has been called the Western Zen and through quiet centers him in the present moment. He acknowledges that it has given him a special way of seeing and informed his work.
His fertile imagination encompasses both the whimsical and utmost seriousness and he lets the unaltered landscape reveal his own transformative storytelling. To assist the viewer, Smith has diligently crafted titles for each photograph to encourage others to share his personal vision. Needless to say, he believes there is a rich visual world right at our feet that simply goes unnoticed. He is out to open our eyes with these unusual photographs.
