Barn at Cove Oregon by rural artist Gary Ernest Smith

 
Barn at Cove, Oregon by rural artist Gary Ernest Smith available from Prickly Pear Galleries.
 
Gary Ernest Smith’s success in contemporary art emanates from a wellspring not always associated with the genre: tradition and values. “The foundation of all my paintings is the rural experience, because that is who I am,” Smith says. “Self-reliance, self-respect and self-worth emergefrom the agricultural experience.” These aspects of Smith's life became the catalyst for his distinctive style.

“I strive for simplicity, seek imaginative colors and use bold forms,” he states.  Barn at Cove Oregon andMan in Red, Smith’s introductory fine art giclée editions from the Greenwich Workshop, are perfect examples of the iconic rural vistas and heroic figures he is renowned for. “Of the main themes I deal with, productivity and self-sufficiency seem to recur. I attempt to portray something of the struggles and triumphs of those who work with a sometimes friendly, sometimes harsh land.”
