Minimal Designs & Organic Shapes
Exhibition featuring art by local San Diego artist, Lucas Smith. Powerful pieces of original artwork that indulge edge & emotion. Working with raw & often organic materials that are combined with professional tools & skilled techniques. I invite my viewers in, not holding back, taking them on a journey through my artwork. Each piece tells a story & seeks to engage with the viewer. Through brushstrokes, my work is meant to not only inspire but to soothe the mind.

"Vibrant Cups", Honorable Mention
16” x 20” Framed Acrylic on Canvas
I love the playfulness in this. The way the cups are stacked is impossible, and that makes the design engaging. The colors are bold. It is held together by the blues and the cuneiform pattern and by surrounding it with brightness and happiness. I could look at it for a good long time and not get tired of it. The background jumps right out at you, but it works. The composition is good. The shapes are flattened, yet the texture in it admits to a lot of give and take. It is a great piece!
-Juror Comments artist & judge Roberta Dyer
"BEST of Miniatures Award"
"Nature's Spotlight"
10” x 10'“ Framed Mixed Media on Canvas
The format is unusual, the textural surface is evocative. The value range is very strong. It has the best qualities of abstract painting. I also like the fact that it is done very loosely like he already had somewhere else to create.
-Juror Comments artist & judge Chuck McPherson
