Steve Smith
Steve Smith, a Bozeman resident since 1977, paints the Montana landscape and architecture in a style developed from intensive study of the masters of Renaissance painting. His soft neutral tones flow around the hard-edged lines of the structures and features of the landscape, creating a mesmerizing counterpoint. "Butte figures so prominently in my work," says the artist, "because, in Montana, that's where the architecture is." Mr. Smith works in series, beginning several canvasses at the same time and hoping that one of them captures what he's after.
Mr. Smith was born in San Jose in 1963. After earning a degree in English Literarture from Montana State University, he attended the Art Institute of Chicago where he began formal study of painting and sculpture. He also spent several years in New York, where his fascination with architecture as a subject began.
