About the Item

Monumental Red Abstract Milburn Smith March 1969 Acrylic paint on canvas 65 x 64 x 1.25 Signed and dated lower right in ink Very Good Condition: Consistent with age and history. From childhood on, Mil was a dedicated and talented painter. He received a Bachelor of Science in Art and English from Millikin University, a Master's in Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Illinois, and a Master of Science in Educational Administration and Supervision from Southern Illinois University. Mil exhibited his paintings across the United States and Mexico, winning numerous awards and prizes. He enjoyed teaching art to junior high and high school students in Granite City and Champaign. He viewed his paintings as "joyous expressions," as visual psalms, hymns of praise, in color. He always said that God worked through him, and that he was but a vessel through which the Holy Spirit made a presence on earth. His large-scale painting, "Epiphany Mystery: Glory," hangs at Emmanuel Memorial Episcopal Church in Champaign. In Mil's words: "As a painter must have more than one color with which to paint a great picture, so we must have contrasting experiences, if we would produce a life that is a masterpiece. Lights and shadows, heights and depths, laughter and tears, struggles and triumphs - these are the experiences that offer us the contrasting colors out of which we produce life's noblest and best."

Scorpio
Located in London, GB
A multidisciplinary artist and experimental musician with synaesthesia, Jake-Andrew's practice is centred around the way the mind can perceive audio stimulus as colour, texture, shape and movement. Exploring sensory perception, Jake-Andrew documents the emotional and physical response to the relationships that exist between colour and sound, and how they can reflect the minutiae and melancholia of the human condition through gestural abstraction and introspective layering; exploring the progression of his physical practice for the digital renaissance by introducing pixel manipulation to digital gesture and occasionally physical attributes through coding. Jake-Andrew's work exists as an expressive, physical performance that allows him to create projected installation environments and immersive experiences; either on screen or in situ. Which affects the relationship that all of us have with colour and sound. Undertaken projects with Glenfiddich, Braun Audio...
