Clifford Smith is a realist painter best known for seascapes and landscapes in which he seeks to, “parallel nature rather than imitate it.” Motivated by a desire to “get beyond the physical essence of something,” Smith encompasses a broader experience of a subject, by expressing its past, present, and future. Often his spatial compositions appear to extend beyond the perimeters of the picture frame to convey the transient nature of experience.
Smith was born in Passaic, New Jersey in 1951. He earned his BS degree in 1973 at Southern Connecticut State College, New Haven, Connecticut, and his MFA degree in 1979 at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. Smith now resides in New Hampshire.
