Chance to Dream by Ford Smith

24x36 Original Painting

Chance to Dream” leaps from the easel and steals the aesthetic heart with sweeping optimism and vibrant energy. So much touchable texture… layers upon layers of pure color and movement traverse the canvas. It’s clear that this painting is a creative homage to post-Impressionist greats. In this original, Ford artfully chooses to work within the ‘bridge-gate’ between ‘natural’ and abstract painting. Between the outside world and the mind’s eye, combining uncanny elements from each aesthetic space. He revives the memories of van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin or Klimt— all who formed an arc between the observable world, and the open mindscape of the imagination.
