About the artist

Timothy Robert Smith is a painter and public artist, using realism and shifting perspective techniques to create cinematic stories that explore our perception of reality. He is known for his murals that feature larger-than-life characters in extreme perspectives, incorporating recognizable city structures into warped, kaleidoscopic landscapes. He has created many works for public spaces, including a mural for a new football stadium for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2023), and a 101 Freeway underpass mural in Salinas for the Clean California project (2023). In 2018, he created an immersive “walk-through painting” for the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) that combined oil painting with sculpture, lights, sounds and video. His work has shown in solo exhibitions at TEDx Conferences, Bergamot Station, the A+D Museum, and MOAH; and has been featured in many media outlets, including Juxtapoz, Artillery, NBC, and KCRW, and a new book in print More Disruption: Representational Art In Flux by John Seed.
