Navah II by Colby K Smith

“Navah II is about painting, yet it includes a range of materials that extend beyond the traditional paint medium to include plaster and industrial materials. I love the process that exists through the manipulation of their endless combinations. Through this process, I establish marks that become as perfect as a gesture — those simple, quick moments informed by a lifelong pursuit. Through making this work, I strive to understand the nature of order, as I tend to find it lacking in my everyday life. I strive to make beautiful paintings composed of materials that are not independently considered beautiful.”
