Tom Smith “Swimming In My Head” at OLSEN GRUIN

OLSEN GRUIN is proud to present Swimming In My Head, a solo show and new selection of paintings by NYC-based American artist, Tom Smith.

For his new show, Smith continues his career exploration of the psychological power of color and light, guided by the influences of celebrated artists such as Joseph Albers and James Turrell. While Swimming in My Head contains a few of his signature “Strip Paintings” (pieces made by cutting two different abstract paintings into thin strips and resembling into one TV-lined distortion), Smith radically pushes the majority of this new body of work (as well as himself) through sheer size, technique and complexity.
