In his latest series of paintings, Connor Smith shifts his focus from the vast, open wilderness to the intimate, vibrant spaces of the interior world. While his previous work explored reimagined natural landscapes, this collection brings the viewer inside, blurring the boundary between the sanctuary of the home and the vibrant energy of the outdoors.
Through doors and open windows, glimpses of bold, colourful landscapes break into quiet domestic spaces. Inside, ordinary rooms become charged with a dreamlike vitality: sketchbook drawings catch the wind and float across a bedroom, a clock and coloued pencils sit bathed in light on a living room table, and everyday keys and fruit bowls ground the compositions. Smith’s interiors are not static or confined; they are alive with memory, creativity, and movement.
This series employs a bold, vivid palette and heavily textured, visible brush marks that infuse the domestic scenes with a pulsing, psychological energy. By layering thick, expressive strokes, Smith invites viewers to see the home not just as a physical space, but as an emotional landscape where the inner life and the outside world brightly collide.
