In his artwork, visionary artist Ford Smith takes viewers on an adventure in textures, shapes and color. Using a unique, physical technique, he encourages dripping, flowing paint to find its own imagery, and texturizes it with scattered plaster granules. Initially learning to paint in Japan, Smith became a top fashion photographer in Atlanta. Now exclusively a painter, he gets inspiration from world travels and is mesmerized by tranquil horizons, which he infuses with an early Asian aesthetic.
