About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Dwight Smith displays a playful image of a bunny peeping out of a stack of donuts. The delectable pastry appears graphically large compared to the tiny brown hare. "You may not want to go down that rabbit hole, in this case, that wouldn't be so incorrect" delivers Dwight. He paints the charming surrealist scene in detailed realist strokes.
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.
