Please join us for an exhibition reception of Outside In / Inside Out with artist Phillip K Smith III at Hexton Gallery

In his first solo exhibition at Hexton Gallery, Southern California-based artist Phillip K. Smith III presents a new series of elusive, ephemeral wall sculptures that rest somewhere between traditional painting and the transformative power of colored light. Each sculpture changes at an imperceptible pace, from reflective surfaces to varying shades of color as determined by Smith’s elegantly designed orchestration. The dialogue between color and reflection has an unhinging effect, transporting the viewer from a known reality to one suspended within Colorado’s palpably thin air.

Perhaps best known for his large-scale public installations, Smith’s show at Hexton reveals a more intimate look at the artist. He focuses his vision on transforming domestic environments into spaces bathed in light, all the while inviting the outside in. Natural or ambient light is reflected back at the viewer across Smith’s mirrored surfaces while color projects outward from the inside.

Open to all ticket holders. Registration is not required for this event.
