THE SPACE IN BETWEEN

“The Space in Between” is a bold and evocative abstract painting that pulsates with energetic strokes and vibrant colours. This work encapsulates the dynamic interaction of movement and stillness, drawing the viewer into a visual experience filled with contrasting textures and layered complexities. The artist, Troy Smith, masterfully uses a palette dominated by deep reds, pinks, yellows, and blues, accented with occasional splashes of white and green, resulting in a chaotic and harmonious composition.

Smith’s technique, which blends aggressive brushwork with a more deliberate application of paint, creates a textured and tactile surface. The layers of paint invite viewers to explore the depth of the piece, with each painting segment revealing new patterns and hidden elements. The title, “The Space in Between,” refers to the tension created by the overlapping colours and textures, suggesting the existence of unseen forces at play within the composition. It invites contemplation of what lies beyond the visible, an exploration of the intangible and the emotional.

The painting is framed in a custom hardwood frame, designed and crafted by Troy Smith, adding an elegant white lacquer finish to complement the intensity of the artwork. Measuring an impressive 64 by 88 inches, the large scale of the work makes it a striking centrepiece in any space. This piece exemplifies Troy Smith’s ability to capture raw emotion and motion in his abstract works, engaging the viewer in a sensory experience.
