A PRODUCT OF CONSEQUENCES

“A Product of Consequences” is an abstract expressionist masterpiece that captivates viewers with its explosive energy and dynamic composition. Painted in 2017, Troy Smith utilizes bold splashes and drips of colour—reds, yellows, whites, and blacks—to create a complex and vivid interplay of movement. The earthy brown backdrop forms a strong foundation for the layered chaos that unfolds across the canvas, giving the piece a sense of groundedness amidst the abstract frenzy.

Smith’s use of aggressive yet controlled strokes captures the unpredictability of life’s choices and the ripple effects of consequences, mirrored in the seemingly spontaneous bursts of colour that evoke feelings of raw emotion and intensity. The intricate lines, which appear to be fighting for space, overlap and crisscross, symbolizing the complexities of decisions and their often unpredictable outcomes. The large-scale format invites viewers to immerse themselves in the intricacies of the painting, experiencing the duality of chaos and harmony.

“A Product of Consequences” is both contemplative and visually arresting, encouraging the audience to reflect on how actions shape the narrative of life.
