Artist Holds Exhibition ? Two years after ending his resi dency at James Sprunt Technical ?ollege visiting artist, reflections of Duplin County can be found in the , exhibition of David Smith's paintings which opened last week in Golds | boro. . l * May 11th marked the opening of 'l an exhibition of Smith's work at - Herman Park Arts Center on Ash k Slreet in Goldsboro. The show, E Smith pointed out, is the exhibition ? which hung in Sanford earlier this " month concluding his residency as visiting artist at Central Carolina Technical College. The exhibition entitled "Four Years On" is a show of paintings Smith has completed during his visiting artist residency at JSTC in Kenansville and Central Carolina in Sanford. "Being a visiting artist has been good for me," Smith said. "An artist is a communicator whether he is } using a brush or speaking and the past four years have been good experience, allowing me to build my verbal communication skills." As visiting artist at JSTC, Smith spent ? much time in the public schools working with students. The second half of his visiting artist residency * was spent in Sanford working mainly ~ with civic groups and guest lecturing m in Central Carolina humanities - classes. I "College age is the group I feel I ' have the most to offer; that was the ' i. .?-? time in my life when I decided to become an artist," Smith said. "Teaching art has been a long-time goal of mine and the visiting artist program has helped me prepare for that profession." Smith began his career 10 years ago and has exhibit ed in noted museums and galleries in the East and Midwest. He is a graduate of East Carolina University and obtained a master of fine arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The exhibition currently in Golds boro reflects Smith's years as a visiting artist and four of the new works are of an old and practically torn-down house in Warsaw. While one piece is a color study, Smith said "Hidden Hearth," "Into the Foyer," and "Emerald Ascent" are three new major works done from photographs x>f the abandoned house in Warsaw. "Emeralds Ascent" combines naturalism with imaginative use of color. Smith had been trying to perfect the technique and finally mastered it after a three-week fellowship studying with noted artist Richard Anuszkiewics at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Fla. last summer. "An artist should never stop learning," Smith said. "The study fellowship encouraged me to experi ment with colors I had never used before and apply the colors in ways I ? , - ~ li had never used them. 'Emerald Ascent' is a result of ideas in the use of color 1 learned from Anuszkiewics. "The incentive for my art lies in my search for an elusive, fleeting visual experience. My objective es sentially is to create a heightened sense of reality; to bring a freshness or clarity to that which might be overlooked or unseen. My intent is to create a dramatic confrontation be tween the viewer and the subjects of my paints," he said. Smith is a native of Rockingham. The "Four Years On" exhibition will be displayed until June 11 at the Art Center Gallery of the Herman Park Arts Center in Goldsboro.
