Exhibition Gallery

The Larry Smart RETRO-spective was an astounding success. We saw fans come from far and wide to take a look at Larry’s work they remembered from their youth. We also saw a new wave of Larry Smart fans who had either seen the Hendrix on BBC’s hit TV show Miranda or love the retro 60s vibes of Lennon and Dylan.A big thank you goes to The Muse Gallery. The building was the old head offices for Whole Earth when at the time Larry was painting the imagery for the packaging. So, it was the ideal space to show his work.Since the exhibition we have discovered more original Larry Smart paintings and are looking forward to the next chapter. Here are some photos from the two week exhibition:

New Discovery

In April I went to Marrakech, primarily for a much needed break and a bit of sunshine, but also to see if we could find any of the paintings that Larry Smart did during the 15 years that he regularly visited the city. Many people commissioned him to paint their restored riads as he could so perfectly capture the sacred geometry that underpinned the design of the tiling and plasterwork. His understanding of the mechanics and principles of this geometry meant that he could paint an image that was faithful to the original design concept, preserving the symmetry and perspectives of the creators.
