On View at Ki Smith Gallery (
@kismithgallery ) | Beauty: Tom Wolf and Friends
“Beauty: Tom Wolf and Friends” began with a studio visit. When Ki Smith encountered Tom Wolf’s work, he responded instinctively: these luminous, layered paintings—merging digital photography, acrylic, Plexiglas, and colored urethane—held both depth and surface, rooted in the real while pushing toward something more atmospheric.
Rather than fill the gallery's two floors with small framed works, Tom proposed inviting some artist friends to show works alongside his own, transforming the exhibition into a collective exploration of beauty, material, and perception.
