David B. Smith Gallery

While wondering around the streets of LODO looking for an art open reception, I stumbled into this gallery by accident, thinking it was the one I was seeking. I went in for a quick walk threw, and left, but I was excited to go back. This open reception was great, inside is a giant 21^st century electronic (Tech) art piece that is like ten feet tall and twenty yards across. The piece had a surreal, entrancing effect on me. The changing color backdrop and floating veils felt like something I could just stare at for hours. I had a chance to meet one of the artist collaborators that built the piece, and that made the whole experience even better! One day I could see this type of piece being constructed in a house I live in, and every day I could just walk by and enjoy.

Even though I did not personally like some of the works in this gallery, I can appreciate the talent of this artist. His use of bright colors is very eye catching. I felt like he was influenced by the ocean possibly as I saw what looked like underwater flora and fauna life, seashells and abalone shells. It’s definitely worth a look.

Though I now live in Austin, TX, I find myself missing this gallery in Denver often. It’s tucked away right in downtown Denver, and not too far from the MCA. In truth it’s often a better stop than the MCA altogether.
Memorable shows include Liz Miller and Gregory Euclide.
Do yourself a favor and stop by for an opening, or during the week if you prefer less of a crowd.

David B. Smith has excellent taste in curating contemporary artists from around the country as well as local favorites. The space is open and inviting, classy and modern. It’s always a treat to attend one of the amazing artist opening he continually shows. I always look forward to seeing who’s next. Definitely cutting edge, definitely a must see for the art enthusiast.

This gallery is your source for progressive art from across the nation. I have lots of Favorites in town for local art. But it would be hard to beat The David B. Smith gallery for National and International artists. Examples include Josh Keyes, Bruno Novelli, Emil Alzamora, Bua and so many more. They have moved to 1543 A Wazee Street Denver, CO 80 202.
So go check out the art and there new space.

Formally known as Limited Addiction Gallery, this contemporary art magnet is still super fantastic. My favorite on the Santa Fe Art Walk, they bring in some big names and never disappoint. The press release states, «Limited Addiction will remain as the publishing division of the Gallery, featuring limited edition prints and monographs.»
