Smith-Killian Fine Art in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Shannon Smith
Sunday
mornings at the kitchen table, beds left unmade, sun creeping
through the kitchen windows, southern artist, Shannon Smith has
an amazing talent of capturing the essence of intimacy. In her
oil paintings, Smith takes the viewer to a place of comfort and
serenity like no other artist today. To miss these works is to
miss an important step in this promising young artist's career.
This new collection of work, entitled, Intimate Spaces,
focusing on interior spaces, can be viewed at Smith-Killian Fine
Art in downtown Charleston, SC, and at (www.smithkillian.com)
during the first week of Apr. Smith will also be presenting a
painting demonstration at the gallery on Saturday, Apr. 1, from
1-3pm. The exhibit continues through Apr. 5, 2003.
"This body of interior works captures the warm, cozy feeling of being right at home, surrounded by our most familiar objects. Home makes us feel safe and comfortable, a place well known to our habits and personalities. I invite you to come view these new works and see how the warm sunlight pours through the windows, bathing everything in its path only to unveil our most intimate spaces."
Smith has spent the past few months visiting the places that have special meaning to her, and has brought those feelings to her canvases. From her mother's kitchen to her friend's living room, she has let us in on a very warm and inviting atmosphere. After spending time painting in France, she returned home with a desire to utilize what she has learned from her travels into the things that are familiar. She is known as one of the south's most promising young artists and a member of the Smith family of artists. Both her mother and sister are painters and her brother is a photographer.
