Montreal-based painter Michael Smith is known for his fluid and impasto surfaces as well as his ability to strike a poetic balance between representation and abstraction. Inspired by art history as well as historic and current events, Smith pulls from various sources to create his energetic landscapes and seascapes. J.M.W. Turner’s The Fountain of Indolence, George Chambers’s depictions of 19th-century Arctic expeditions, and Jean Paul Riopelle’s palette knife abstractions continually shape Smith’s understanding of landscape painting, while historically focused projects push the boundaries of his subject matter. This major retrospective of Michael Smith’s paintings demonstrates his ability to mix landscape with abstraction, creating fictional spaces that show how experience impacts the way we view the world. Layering landscapes and seascapes, the familiar with the unfamiliar, Smith’s paintings convey (as Smith writes), “a mix of excitement and anxiety of a land, [that] although at times bucolic, is riddled with shadows.” Accompanying a major exhibition organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Michael Smith: Sea of Change features 50 large-scale reproductions, an essay on Smith’s trajectory as an artist by critic-curator Nancy Tousley, and an interview with the artist by John Leroux. Michael Smith’s work is included in numerous public collections, including those of le Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, le Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Rideau Hall, and la Citadelle de Québec. Le peintre montréalais Michael Smith est renommé pour sa touche fluide et ses empâtements, ainsi que pour sa capacité à atteindre un équilibre riche en poésie entre la représentation et l’abstraction. Puisant son inspiration tant dans l’histoire de l’art que dans les événements du passé ou d’aujourd’hui, il utilise une multitude de sources pour créer ses marines et ses paysages agités. The Fountain of Indolence de J.M.W. Turner, les représentations d’expéditions de George Chambers dans l’Arctique au XIXe siècle ou encore les abstractions à la spatule de Jean Paul Riopelle sont autant d’œuvres qui façonnent continuellement sa compréhension de la peinture de paysage, alors que les projets ancrés dans l’histoire repoussent les limites des thèmes qu’il aborde. Cette grande rétrospective témoigne de la capacité de Michael Smith à marier paysage et abstraction pour créer des espaces fictifs qui démontrent l’incidence d’une expérience sur notre façon d’appréhender le monde. En superposant la marine et le paysage, le familier et l’inconnu, Smith exprime (comme il l’explique lui-même) « la fébrilité mêlée d’anxiété que l’on éprouve devant un paysage qui, bien que parfois bucolique, est criblé d’ombres ». Le catalogue Michael Smith : mer mouvante est publié à l’occasion d’une exposition d’envergure organisée par le Musée des beaux-arts Beaverbrook. Il comporte cinquante reproductions grand format, un texte sur le parcours artistique de Smith signé par la critique et commissaire d’exposition Nancy Tousley ainsi qu’une entrevue de John Leroux avec l’artiste. Des œuvres de Michael Smith font partie de nombreuses collections publiques, notamment celles du Musée d’art contemporain et du Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, du Musée des beaux-arts Beaverbrook (Fredericton), de Rideau Hall (Ottawa) et de la Citadelle de Québec.
