Joel Smith Resume' 

Artist Statement

My painting goal is to order symbolic fragments into a state of pure painting. They are not concerned with a description of the seen world, rather they are involved with the mystery of the human experience. Our ambiguities and contradictions are isolated into a pictorial form that can be contemplated; a form where multiple meanings may be examined, where shifting states of consciousness are engaged. My oil paintings do not represent emotion. They transcend it.
