This drawing from my "labyrinth series," addresses the poetics of space, form and it's dissolution, and the mysteries of time beyond time itself.

Dean Smith creates drawings, collages, and videos. His work reflects upon the measure of time and a ceaseless human impulse to render the invisible visible by inviting us to join in a slow, rich meditation on an idea as it unfolds to its conclusion.

Smith is a recipient of a California Arts Council Fellowship Award and his work is placed in prominent public collections, including The British Museum; Hammer Museum; LACMA; Albright-Knox Art Gallery; The Art Institute of Chicago; Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

He is represented by Anglim Gilbert Gallery, San Francisco, and has had solo presentations at Christopher Grimes Gallery, Santa Monica; Marvelli Gallery, New York; and Gallery Joe, Philadelphia in addition to numerous group exhibitions in galleries nationally and internationally.

Smith lives and works in Oakland, California.
