All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Root Cause" 2025 - 40x30x2" - The artist's use of primary colors in this piece creates an unexpected unity in the composition, soft brushtrokes evoked by the summer landscape, inviting us back to the stream of consciousness. It's interesting to think about a tree as being a reflective self portrait. The water below and canopy above, help us understand ourselves, when we immerse, not separate, from the natural world. It’s available all the time, it won’t strive or compete… nature just is. The stability of a tree itself provides a softness amidst creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/1ffd6b6c-5d2e-4074-adb4-24a8a08bd277/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-24.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Fighting Chance" 2025 - 60x48x2" - Energetic vertical line work over the top of a multi-layered background creates a vibrant, saturated, piercing red compositional base for the diagonal lines that give it a familiar form. A beautiful, non-figurative, introspection of longing, objectivity and deep emotional release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/fd86d2db-3911-4aed-bb5b-7dd383990979/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-34.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Acting Out" 2025 - 40x30x2" - The alteration of our human presence in the physical world, grounding in unfamiliarity, yielding no expectation other than awareness. A perspective shift from stark contrast complementary to the absence of color. Organic, geometric shape overlaid with bold form depicts interconnected, intelligent networks of both positive and negative substance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/7b2fb11b-8a01-4161-aff0-2102cb43a946/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-40.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Mending" 2025 - 60x48x2" - Rich hues, soft blues and diagonal green brushstrokes create a backdrop for a gestural form, or flow, that lacks definition. The soft glazed overlay shines light on the figure, alluding to a sense of peace amidst the chaos in a world that moves too quickly. An epitome of human condition; strong and yet still needing to be able to thrive in the interaction with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/18260ad2-0cb1-413f-b1d1-15ab01c1f0f9/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-36.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Duality of Man" 2025 - 48x36x2" - Blurred lines of lust and love, a juxtaposition of raw, collective, emotion; a struggle that is old as time itself. The incongruity of form confronted by an arrangement of black and white forces. Artist’s utilization of two dimensional space with precision and pattern interrogates the repetition of cycles; man’s carnal battle between instinct and ideal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/544b03ae-7014-4c09-b251-9b0b77d16ca1/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-27.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Red Clay Reverie" 2025 - 40x30x2" - The composition navigates a tension between gesture and structure, where fractured planes of oxidized earth tones of rust collide with cool blue washes. The work suggests a dialogue between memory and erosion, evoking remnants or subconscious mapping. Through deliberate mark-making, separation, division and layered opacity, revealing the spatial ambiguity that oscillates just between containment and collapse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/ee50eb87-203b-40b6-86b9-b85a70a0d6c7/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-30.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Save Your Breath" 2025 - 48x36x2" - Warm, radiant, rich hues flood the work with deliberate lines and shading creates an incredible surrealist landscape for the dimensional elements that lay above. The mycelium, executed with a riot of color, form and texture. Completion of its environment provides serenity, comfort and being, without a care for global happenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/afda3bca-d94a-4643-b01f-dca2587f84f9/Smartist-08-14-2025-13-35.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Dangerous Love" 2025 - 36x36x2" - Liautaud uses bold, graphic acrylic forms on canvas, juxtaposing solid black lettering with a vivid red heart rendered in dimensional relief. The heart, fractured and stitched together with actual barbed wire, introduces a tactile, sculptural element that evokes tension and emotional complexity. Set against a vibrant blue background, the composition reinterprets the motif with a raw, yet loving and expressive edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/f12b152c-0cf4-4bc1-a1c9-758dc9d3b989/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-59.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Dysbiosis" 2025 - 36x36x2" - Liautaud employs materially intensive wall work, frame intervention, and textile-based construction to investigate the fragile interplay of organic systems and bodily decay. Hand-woven, pigment-saturated linen strips intersect with dimensional epoxy forms, their chromatic repetition activating spatial tension and formal rhythm. The embedded epoxy and geometric cubes employ a mycelial network encircling the composition, once protective and invasive, suggesting containment and quiet invasion. The work evokes cycles of regeneration, stress and resilience, allowing for reflection and the intimacy of vulnerability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/97c2a800-baba-457b-b81e-65f7dbb0c72f/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-41.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Creature Comforts" 2025 - 60x48x2" - Nature is a constant source of coolness and warmth that operates microscopically with incredible, delicate, yet intentional form. Energetic, almost frenetic line work, speaks to a truth that life never takes a break. Understanding and recognizing this balance creates a foundation for a greater sense of being, fostering deep appreciation for the nuance, unseen, respect for the interconnectedness of all living things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/f619993f-7047-4419-9713-5a891d17bacb/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-45.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Holding On" 2025 - 40x30x2" - Explorative, deliberate mark-making, without predetermined outcome. Psychologically imposing, it’s raw, real and revealing of one’s inner self, the hidden dialogue, unspoken voices or deeper struggle, simultaneously. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/f129cd45-38df-440f-ad94-23d19ea9bee6/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-38.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Held Under" 2025 - 48x24x2" - Fungal hues spiral into a dense, living terrain suggesting a networked intelligence that holds together both longing and restraint. The winding dark line evokes the logic of roots or rivers, weaving through sedimented layers of pigment that mirror how love; like mycelium, grows invisibly but insistently beneath the surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/aad55fd9-f048-4a7f-85b3-5ee4f6294ea4/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-47.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Soft Armor" 2025 - 48x24x2" - Water is rendering this through a visceral interplay of layered pigment, gestural brushwork, and chromatic tension. Saturated color and crimson pools pulse against translucent blues and warm yellows, evoking the duality of concealment and revelation. The viewer can engage with divine feminine, or fire, as seen with the soft, balancing and gentle brushstrokes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/0547082f-d8a7-499c-8acb-8dfa05c5471a/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-48.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Into the Weeds" 2024 - 30x24x2" - A visceral meditation on land, thought and memory. Balanced tones, green, ochre, brown where gestural abstraction becomes geography and an earthy palette inspired by nature's flourish; a churning of the soil. The lines evoke undealt emotional remains of past seasons, natural erosion and internal unrest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/0cc3ef31-3e2c-427e-901d-fe7af53d4586/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-50.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Well Healed" 2025 - 48x24x2" - The artist employs layered brushwork and gestural mark-making to conjure the atmosphere, rendering texture and movement through saturated blues and vibrant violets. Holding a palpable tension between fluidity and form, the piece invites an embodied awareness of water’s elusive presence,its rhythms, disruptions, and the longing it stirs for all the ways we wish to be carried in a constant stream of flow and comfort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/d63d4fb2-94da-41fa-b8ba-b35ee6807d7e/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-52.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Burning Daylight" 2025 - 47x43x2" - Tranquilizing color and bold blue geometric form in harmonious repetition; a playful, child-like imagination for the viewer. The sun, something we generally believe as lightness contrasted with black paint, creates a visual intrigue for the composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/fc0d23d9-eb1c-4e71-b853-3182b00a1144/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-54.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Thresholds of Touch" 2025 - 48x36x2" - Spacial patterns depicted from acrylic paint washed and placed on canvas with feet. Linen woven throughout, piercing the picture plane, inviting viewers to fully engage with their own mind, revealing an interconnectedness, or oneness of our human condition. The artist masterfully employs mixed media and negative space to conjure a visual terrain where softness becomes a radical act, and each mark insists on interacting with the presence of both longing and strength. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/0677b58f-e54c-4eb5-8d17-24ccf13b4955/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-56.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Twin Flame" 2025 - 36x24x2" - This work employs spatial tension and chromatic contrast to explore awareness as form emerges, not through clarity, but through absence. Built through layered acrylic, tonal modulation, and assertive linework, the composition is punctuated by two orange squares positioned in quiet opposition, suggesting points of consciousness or interruption within a deeper field of blue and shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/bd25a088-3861-4cab-acfd-d6f05e7d2ec0/Smartist-08-14-2025-10-57.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Awake between Worlds" 2025 - 36x24x2" - Exploring the interplay of chromatic dissonance, tonal modulation, gestural underpainting in abstraction and pigment saturation all suggest an ongoing negotiation between synthetic control and organic intelligence, between circadian disturbance and embodied awareness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d2c614b30460583f8de7/d60a10d5-fc77-4b8b-aee6-502ecde84f2e/Smartist-08-14-2025-13-37.jpeg Portfolio - All The Ways We Want Exhibition "Leap of Faith" 2025 - 30x30x2" - Appearing as a wet-on-wet technique and scumbling to create a luminous field of atmospheric depth, where crimson and teal hues dissolve into one another with an almost alchemical sensitivity. Working in the lineage of contemporary abstraction but eschewing hard geometry, the surface is built up through thin, translucent veils and spontaneous, suggesting an intuitive process of layering and erasure, where forms emerge like memories surfacing through a thick and blinding fog.
