Constellation for Splott Railway Bridge, Cardiff, 2010

details about this work


Andrew Smith is based in Harlech, Wales


As a painter my practice is inherently studio based. The subject of colour has been the overriding concern leading to the analysis of shape and surface in relation to colour-space-areas. Scale has been explored in public art projects. The cultural context and collaboration of where and how an artwork is made and shown has become an integral function of colour.
