 An exhibition of recent artworks by Allen Crittenden Smith will open at the Spotlight Gallery @ The ARTS in Corning on August 8. This marks the first solo exhibit for the artist in over three decades. Nine large watercolor paintings will be on display. Of his work, Smith says: "For me, making art is a visceral experience and a meditation. Consciously deciding what the form will be, I allow my hand to follow a random path. In the end, the results are the routes of my synapses, evidential marks of my existence." Allen C. Smith (his friends know him as Denny) is an artist living and working in Elmira, New York. Recent exhibitions include the 2009 Rochester-Finger Lakes Biennial, awards at the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira and State of the Art Gallery in Ithaca, and group shows at Exhibit A and 171 Cedar Arts Center in Corning and the Atrium Gallery in Troy, NY.
