Works
Works from the "Passage" and "Gossamer" series
John Noel Smith's work explores a netting of connections and events that suggest a lived experience.
The painting series "Passage" deals with the confrontation of change, coincidence and ultimate cohesion.
The Gossamer series, on the other hand, explores the problem of communication and its fragility.
The ambiguous nature and nuanced character of the paintings leave open the question of whether it is the moment of fragmentation or of cohesion that is observed, whereby perhaps arising an elusive consensus.
The inclusiveness of the abstract sign language, which provides individual reaction space, refers to its timeless and global reach. In a transmodern sense, this evokes solidarity with European modernity, postmodernism and the cultural narratives of the world.
The aim is to stimulate exchange and dialogue within an aesthetic framework. The starting point of these paintings is works from John Noel Smith's first solo exhibition at the Project Art Center Dublin, Ireland 1978.
