Wexner Experience

The David Smith exhibition was very interesting to me. I was particularly drawn to his work that was made out of painted steel. The pieces Albany (IX),  Construction in Rectangles, and Big Diamond all jumped out at me and drew all of my attention. I believe it was because of the use of geometric shapes formed into a bigger picture out of steel with added color. With the color, depending on the piece depended on how much and where he used it. With Big Diamond, all the parts of it were painted completely either orange, tan, or grey, whereas with Construction in Rectangles, the bright, almost neon's, were splashed around in random placing. At least they seemed random to me.  I enjoyed this exhibition and seeing his use of all the shapes to form a bigger piece of art, especially how he used steel and aluminum.
