Chakras

Since 2019, ryanSmith has been creating large-scale, mixed-media, paintings on wood doors. Originally, the doors were on the closets of Smith's home. After removing the doors, Smith began painting on the backs of these 77-inch wood panels. Starting with the "Root Chakra", each door is based on a Chakra.

ryanSmith:


ryanSmith is a multimedia artist from Baltimore, Maryland. Currently, Smith works professionally as an installation artist, freelance photographer, web designer, graphic designer, musician, and video specialist.

Since 2001, he has been creating a body of work, in a variety of media that focuses on the contrasting sides of human emotion, and how to cope with the extremes of our natural instincts. Playing with the physics of reflected and refracted light, he constructs installations using photography, video projections, and mixed media to create a psychologically stimulating atmosphere...

soundNest



SOUNDNEST was a wildly colorful large outdoor installation, in Baltimore, MD, approximately 60x30 feet. Sound artists, Justin Miller, and ryanSmith, constructed dozens of handmade instruments for the public to play inside "soundNest". These instruments included: bells, gongs, drums, wind chimes, cymbals, and handmade kalimbas.

During the three days of Artscape, over 20 experimental musicians played onstage, inside "Sound Nest". Blurring the borderline between audience and performer, the musicians were to harmoniously perform with the cacophony of sounds made by the random, public participants.
