Welcome Artist Gary Ernest Smith
Gary Ernest Smith’s success in contemporary art emanates from a
wellspring not always associated with the genre: tradition and values.
“The foundation of all my paintings is the rural experience, because
that is who I am,” Smith says. “Self-reliance, self-respect and
self-worth emergefrom the agricultural experience.” These aspects of
Smith's life became the catalyst for his distinctive style.
“I strive for simplicity, seek imaginative colors and use bold forms,” he states. Barn at Cove Oregon and Man in Red,
Smith’s introductory fine art giclée editions from the Greenwich
Workshop, are perfect examples of the iconic rural vistas and heroic
figures he is renowned for. “Of the main themes I deal with,
productivity and self-sufficiency seem to recur. I attempt to portray
something of the struggles and triumphs of those who work with a
sometimes friendly, sometimes harsh land.”
Smith’s paintings are celebrations of personal roots and time-worn
memories formed on, and by, a sparse and austere land. These renderings
are permanent glimpses of a rapidly changing and ever shrinking way of
life. Lauded by critics and collectors alike, Gary Ernest Smith is
recognized as one of the important contemporary painters of our time
and a significant addition to any fine art collection. Both Barn at Cove Oregon and Man in Red are extremely low edition sizes and the first giclée on canvas editions by this highly sought-after Utah artist.
