Exhibition Highlight of the Week: Laurie Smith

25/2/2015

#36 Laurie Smith, 'In Absence', ink, 24 ct Gold leaf on watercolour paper, 42 x 30 cm, $120

The first thing that caught my eye about this work was the format. There is something alluring about the composition - a dark square bordered by white that is boldly positioned off centre. 
The eye is drawn upward, from the blank white and across the vastness of the ocean, dancing across the moonlight reflected on its surface, and finally up into the dark, hazy night sky. 

The layers of squiggly line work encourage this rhythmic movement across the work, revealing detail in each and every layer.  

The exhibition is current until Saturday, February 28.

Work of the week

This week's Work of the Week is 'Last Light' from Laurie Smith's exhibition 'In the absence of light' The work is executed in ink, and 24ct Gold leaf on wallpaper (W102cm x H49cm).
The work epitomizes the essence of this exhibition, which is centered around the sea at night. There is a strong, yet hazy sense of walking along a deserted beach as the sun has faded and night descends. The gold leaf is used minimally, just enough to enhance the early evening feel. The drawing method, done on wallpaper, creates a very textural and moody feel to the work.
This is a beautiful and sensitive image
