Brunswick Art Loop: “Land and Air” by Robert Smith
Robert Smith is a local artist and recently retired art educator from Glynn Academy. He has been creating art for decades throughout his career while also teaching middle and high school art (roughly 30 years).
“Land and Air” is a retrospective showcasing pieces he created over many years featuring landscapes, still lifes, and wildlife.
"Land & Air" by Robert Smith
“Land and Air is the title I have chosen for this collection of paintings from the past two years. The name refers to the places in the natural world and my many interactions with wildlife, in this case birds. In these moments, I found truth and beauty in this world, and the artwork is my reflection on these interactions between special places and fauna.
After retiring from the classroom two years ago and spending my career indoors, I felt a rejuvenated pull to the outdoors. Perhaps out of nostalgia or maybe for some needed reflection time - I made priority of long, daily walks outdoors. My extended walks allowed for a reconnection with the natural world and to rekindle a kinship I had not fully experienced since my childhood exploring the woods and waters of Central Georgia.
