Brian Smyth

Brian Smyth studied at the Crawford College of Art and Design from He was awarded the Lavit Gallery's Student of the Year prize in 1994. Brian has shaped a remarkably unique style of constructing compositions and in describing the frailty of the human psyche. In his intimate portraits of men and women, his ability to transcend the personal relationship between artist & model and involve the viewer in this delicate and most intimate relationship with such sensitivity and grace is utterly bewildering. His images result in a series of succinct, yet complex arrangements - rich in association and spatial ambiguities. He has exhibited widely in Ireland and the UK
