An artist worked on the headquarters of Chicago Jeffrey Todd SmithThese mysterious images that are presented in reference masks for ink, ink, or mirror reflections, reveal a distant personality without a specific identity. “To be honest, I still think about them as advanced forms,” ​​he said to Golossal. “I am trying to find new things in it when I look at them.

Smith is constantly pulled into abstraction and engineering, known for its charming works that instill complex decorations, and are often zigzag with simple structures. It seems that the vibrant fields are leaking across the paper, creating three and similar combinations flowing with energy.

The artist leaves pure abstraction in this new group of work, and it merges human components in its interlocking forms. Engineering still provides scaffolding, though. He adds:

If there is a break from logic, then this sense of arrangement can collapse quickly, which creates tension, such as removing the bottom pieces in Jenga. Either way, engineering helps me build a kind of game panel that I respond to with more decorative or decorative decisions. Even the hand -drawn decorative elements play a visual and structural role. Either they confirm or interfere in the system, depending on how to address it.
