Henry Smith



Odyssey of wonder.
This paintings form part of a larger body of work that investigates the landscape, and art, from a non representational point of view. As such, they are not obviously suggestive of the theme, ‘ART OF THE NOMAD’. However, they address the theme indirectly through a deliberate process of WANDERING in the landscape looking for visual clues to make paintings. Over many years I’ve become familiar with the landscape around Alice Springs, its seasons, light, colours, textures, and compositions. My attempt has been to combine this visual information into an approach that is both a new interpretation and one I hope that acknowledges the original source.
