Ted Smith
Ted Smith was a Kamloops-based artist whose painting moved between abstraction and representation. Influenced by his time at the Vancouver School of Art studying with well known artists including Jack Shadbolt and Donald Jarvis, Smith’s work was grounded in Modernism. He is best known as a landscape painter and recognized for capturing the essence of the Kamloops region. Smith’s work is distinguished by a vivid and innovative use of colour and exploration of the possibilities of paint.
In conjunction with the exhibition Ted Smith: A Retrospective presented at the Kamloops Art Gallery June 28 to August 30, 2014, this full colour publication includes reproductions of the late artist’s paintings beginning in the 1960s to 2013.
