Troy Smith, a Canadian artist, designer, sculptor, and painter, commands global acclaim for his extraordinary artistic creations. His work resonates with notable galleries, private collectors, interior designers, architects, and individuals who appreciate and curate innovative contemporary art. Smith's background encompasses a history of artisans and craftsmen that goes back four generations, including the Métis Aboriginals of Canada. Smith paints with his body in motion, using an action painting style often described as abstract expressionism. Troy looks for negative space, balance between colours, movement of paint, and texture. He splashes, dribbles, smears, throws, scrapes, gouges, pushes, pulls, smashes, and blends paint across the canvas using bold colours. Troy paints on floors and walls using large canvases and panels, listening to music, and enjoying the physical act of painting. A modern-day Renaissance man, Troy passionately embraces the world's beauty. He journeys to international design and fashion hubs, exploring world-famous museums, galleries, and architectural marvels to glean inspiration from emerging trends in art and design. These influences manifest vividly in Smith's furniture, abstract paintings, and sculpture. Troy's work is born of creativity. His art has graced international design fairs, prestigious exhibitions, and prominent design publications. Troy's work embodies his mantra: "You can't just create art; you must give it life."
