Press Release:
Michael Rosenthal Gallery is pleased to present Bay Area artist Kacie Erin Smith’s first solo show, Real Shining People. In a style that is seductively ambiguous, Smith executes technical monotypes with a delicate, sensitive hand. Drawing from the physical and emotional experiences of relationships, ceremony and the natural landscape, Smith’s bright graphics and intimate details hint at the spirit of seeking meaning in tradition and connection to place. Through her use of symbolic objects, figural fragments and layered color, she evokes the breathy memories of human experience that are created by the passing of time. The title, Real Shining People, refers to the moments when people are radiant– when joy and peace take us beyond physical reality.
