BRONSON (GEOFFREY) SMITH

Geoffrey Smith is a self-taught artist, who began experimenting with wood relief paintings in 1983. He changed his name from Geoffrey to Bronson 1994. He was inspired by the work of Paterson Ewen. He uses a router to add depth and detail to his work. Smith explained his motivation to paint in a an artist statement, "I feel the need to capture the images of the outports of Newfoundland & Labrador and the barns of Ontario. These solid structures become fragile as they are subjected to the elements of neglect, the environment and despair. My paintings hold onto the world that is lost or disappearing."
