Phil Demise Smith is the curator and point of reference for all the artists
in this show. As director of A Gallery @ Wares for Art in New York City for
the past seven years, he has been exhibiting the work of European and
American self-taught/outsider artists alongside the expressionistic work of
trained artists and craftsmen. He is a poet, musician and self-taught artist.
All his work is part of his "uni-verse", his one poem, and stands as
an
emotional diary. His art is intuitive and spontaneous, a "rehearsed
spontaneity" that illustrates the moment in which the work was created and
includes all of time up to that point. His primary sense of color and
figuration looks very CoBrAesque and child-like but emanates from his own,
personal inner vision which pays homage to the idea that "circumstance has
a
mind of its own." He has been published, collected and exhibited in the
U.S.
and Europe. |
