Lucien Smith — Parent Trap
Lucien Smith

Parent Trap

A dynamic interplay of gestural marks and raw materiality defines this work by Lucien Smith, where acrylic paint cascades and pools across the absorbent, unprimed canvas surface. The untreated ground allows the pigment to bleed and spread organically, blurring the boundary between intention and chance. *Parent Trap* reflects Smith's ongoing investigation into process and spontaneity, evoking a tension between control and surrender.
