Maus Contemporary is hosting “Locus of Control” the second solo exhibition of artist Leslie Smith III at the gallery, on view from March 17, 2017 through April 21, 2017.“Locus of Control” investigates the degree to which people believe they have control over the outcome of events in their lives, as opposed to exterior forces outside their control. The exhibition explores unique and individual viewing experiences that challenge how we understand ourselves in relationship to those around us. A contemporary African American abstract painter, Smith uses both the surfaces and the structures of his works to create tensions that are palpable. His works are filled with suggestions of the familiar that are both wondrous and comforting. “I intend to create viewing experiences, which represent the possibility of empowering viewers to change perspective, " Smith says.The exhibition is on view at Maus Contemporary/ beta pictoris gallery, 2411 Second Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama 35203, United States.For details, visit: http://mauscontemporary.com/artists/leslie-smith-iii/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
