Brendan Smith’s Summer Swirls

Looking for some summer swirls to take your mind off that summer heat? New York-based artist and sculptor Brendan Smith might have just the distraction. His paintings are energetic; his bold paint strokes are wide and are somehow both geometric yet organically abstract. Some of his paintings are only two colors, others have a palette of hues, but all offer high contrasts and excitable compositions. It seems his more recent paintings from this year have started becoming more and more one-colored, but retain their power and their interest. More on Brendan Smith’s online portfolio.
