| The paintings explore
Smith's fascination with what is at the edge of our vision - sensed
as well as seen; half-remembered thoughts, fragments of memory and
feeling, murmured impressions, glimpses of patterns. Unusually, Smith will also create a new site specific work for Worcester City Art Gallery, which will involve painting directly onto the walls. It is unusual for a painter to work in this way. Alan regards this opportunity as an extension of his painting practice rather than as a change of direction. He describes it "as an intervention rather than an installation, and as a challenge to find or realise a painting from the space itself." Alan will be working in the gallery to bring out aspects of the space which simultaneously draw attention to the paint used and to the implied narratives which the room itself contains. His interest in the ways we read or often ignore the clues of accumulation, fragmentation, chance and other traces will form the impulse to develop this response to the gallery over time. |
