Opening Reception - Charlotte Smith: Entangled

Camiba Gallery is excited to present Entangled, an exhibit of Charlotte Smith’s most recent paintings. Opening Thursday August 25th with a reception from 6-8:30pm, the exhibit runs
through September 24th.
Collected and respected for her experimental approach to painting, Charlotte Smith is well established as royalty in Texas contemporary abstract art. Gallerist Troy Campa muses, “For me it is forever awe-inspiring to watch the never-ending creativity of Charlotte Smith
as she pursues her passion of experimenting with paint – the result is always a unique
object of beauty.”
With many of the artworks in the exhibit, Charlotte pushes her paint drips, drops, and marks in a more formal direction; stringing them together into bands that collectively begin to create larger elements that appear to drift, flow, or dance across the canvas. Yet other artworks in this exhibit continue Charlotte Smith’s recent creative trajectory of soft environmental works, but instead of the soft off-white hues of recent works, she is using a bolder, more dramatic color palette. When examined closely, even these environmental works seem to have bands of tangles that weave in and out of the mist.
