About the Item

Artist Comments
A plump green pear sits among scattered wine corks. The white background highlights the speckled skin of the fruit and the rustic appearance of the stoppers. This realistic still-life painting evokes the simple pleasures of a refreshing glass of cider.


About the Artist
Artist Dwight Smith creates realistic watercolor paintings with narratives that evoke a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana. His works often feature everyday items portrayed with a playful and humorous twist, characterized by a strong graphic style that lends them a pop art feel. Through skillful manipulation of scale and composition, Dwight brings out a sense of the absurd, ultimately aiming to bring a smile to the viewer's face. Drawing strength from his faith allows him to see art in ordinary objects. "It has kept me going and has been my inspiration," says Dwight. He works in a small yet tidy studio, where he brings his artistic visions to life on his desk, illuminated by the bright glow of lamps. Outside of painting, Dwight enjoys biking, hiking, and spending quality time with his wife.

Apple Cider, Original Painting
By Dwight Smith
Located in San Francisco, CA

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.


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.
