Leon Polk Smith's *Beyond the Blue* is a two-panel oil on canvas work that showcases the artist's masterful exploration of form, color, and spatial tension. Sweeping, precisely rendered curves in bold hues create a dynamic interplay between the two conjoined canvases, blurring the boundary between painting and shaped object. The work reflects Smith's deep engagement with hard-edge abstraction and his ongoing dialogue with the expressive potential of pure color and contour.
