First Friday Reception for "Rapture", a show of paintings by local artist, Ed Smiley.
You can see his paintings at: sites.google.com/site/edsmileysart/ .
About Ed:
Ed is a California native and was born in what is now called Silicon Valley, but was once filled with fruit trees.
His latest work incorporates acrylic transfer of xerography, digitally modified images, digital printing, or drawings, incorporating them into gestural painting where it is hard to tell where the painted brushstoke begins and the digital manipulation ends. The image sources can be digital distortions of other paintings, fabrics, and found objects. He has also exhibited works in oil, alkyd, silkscreen, intaglio, collage, xerography, assemblage and kinetic light boxes.
He has studied many things; science, engineering, and art, and has worked as a dishwasher, bean raker, software engineer, ironworker, software architect, bookstore clerk, cannery worker, and house painter. He holds a bachelors degree in art from UCSC.
