propane tank

A cylindrical propane tank becomes the unlikely subject of Lucien Smith's contemplative work, elevating an everyday industrial object into the realm of fine art. The piece invites viewers to reconsider the aesthetic potential found in the mundane tools of domestic and commercial life. Smith's treatment of the utilitarian form challenges conventional boundaries between the ordinary and the artistic.
