MEMORY

“Memory” is a thought-provoking abstract fine art painting by Troy Smith, completed in 2020. This large-scale acrylic work on canvas stands out with its dynamic blend of black and golden tones. The interplay between light and dark creates an intense, almost ethereal landscape, where bold swaths of colour cut across the canvas in sweeping, gestural strokes. The rich texture and visible layering suggest a more profound narrative within the piece, inviting viewers to delve into their memories, emotions, and reflections.

Smith’s use of acrylic paint adds a tactile quality, with sections that appear almost sculptural in depth, while the raw, unframed edges lend an unfinished and intimate feel to the work. Measuring 60 by 60 inches, “Memory” commands attention for its size and ability to evoke a personal connection with the passage of time and fleeting recollections. The painting’s energy and movement allow viewers to explore memory’s non-linear and fragmented nature, making “Memory” an evocative centrepiece in any contemporary collection.
