My Story
Artist Bio
Artist Cinque Smith has been drawing since the early age of 3. A self taught artist who originated out of Dayton Ohio and early on inspired by illustration, film and music. Cinque cites his use of people as a vessel to have a commonality and a spiritual connection with the viewer. Through visual story telling there has been no greater personal instrument that has guided and helped him to cultivate and manifest his artistry. His work is a combination of different techniques with a strong emphasis on the human condition, thru color texture and symbolism.
The name of his current exhibit is called " Better In Tune With The Infinite ''. I wanted to set out to create a body of work that captured where I felt I was in my life creatively and spiritually. I am a firm believer that art and music go hand in hand, so every piece was essentially scored and tailored to evoke my spiritual expression. My taste are as eclectic as my views and thoughts as it pertains to life. My hope is that my work conveys a sense of awe and emotional engagement with the viewer.
As an artist I work hard to develop works of art that resonates with the audience, they are essentially invited into my collective paradigm and are thrust into a vast euphoric sense of commonality with the subject. That’s what I want to bring people when they see my work. My new body of work titled " Better In Tune With The Infinite " is an extension of my journey over the course of the last year being transfixed on over coming my insecurities and pushing boundaries. I don’t seek escapism but rather immense accountability with the viewer. My work is a constant search to best interpret my views on the human condition. I don't limit myself to one style medium and or said technique because my life is not beholden to one ideology. My inspiration and ideas change but the search for elevated humanity is never ending. If the viewer stops for just a moment and stops to reflect on a piece that I created, then I have done my job.
