Dwight Smith
Harvest Moon, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Dwight Smith paints a realistic still life with a touch of surrealist composition. "I grew up in Maryland and autumn or harvest time was my favorite time of year," says Dwight. "The apple of course represents the moon and the bounty from the earth. The pottery, cup, and bowl are the farm. A full moon at that time of year is truly unforgettable."


About the Artist
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.

  • Apple Cider, Original Painting

    Artist Comments
    Artist Dwight Smith depicts a realistic culinary-themed still life. "The bottle opener was of my dad and mom's from so long ago I don't remember when," shares Dwight. He paints a bright red apple on its side adjacent to it. A focused light source highlights the foreground, while strong contrasts of dark shadows in the background frame the elements.
