BLUE ON BLACK

“Blue On Black” by Troy Smith is a bold exploration of contrast, texture, and depth, using a limited yet powerful colour palette. Dominated by deep blacks and vibrant blues, this large-scale piece captivates with its sharp, electric energy. The artist’s use of layered acrylic paints creates a dynamic tension between light and dark, evoking a sense of mystery and introspection. Blue streaks and splashes cut through the black background like lightning in a midnight sky, drawing the viewer into the painting’s electric atmosphere.

At 60 inches by 60 inches, the substantial size of this abstract work allows it to command a space, making it visually striking and emotionally immersive. The interplay of colour and texture gives the painting a sense of motion, as though the blues are in constant movement against the stillness of the black backdrop. “Blue On Black” invites us to reflect on contrasts and the emotional resonance of simplicity.
