the Artist

Dylan Smeak is an artist born and raised in Augusta, Georgia. His work explores the thick, sticky layers of cultural residue left by time and the haze of nostalgia evoked by objects as simple as worn stickers, old logos, and bygone technological devices. In his practice, Dylan relies heavily on the immediacy of airbrushing, combining the blue-collar, utilitarian techniques of set designers and automotive painters with the time-tested methods of classical painters.
