It was during this period that Smith launched Serving the People, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide young artists with opportunity and support.   Lucien and Eileen discuss the rise and fall of his art career, the mental health implications of instant success, his dad's infamous blog post, the aftermath of Lucien's "cancellation" and more.    This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

How To Survive The Art World: Lucien Smith

Alicia Longwell

Join Chief Curator Alicia Longwell and abstract painter Lucien Smith, whose 10 large-scale paintings from his 2013 Southampton Suite are currently on view, for an illustrated talk.   Lucien Smith (b.1989) is best known for his process-based works that employ both accidental and improvisational marks to create loose, all-over compositions. Organized by Alicia Longwell, Lucien Smith: Southampton Suite brings the artist’s Rain Paintings series to conclusion with the 10 large-scale paintings created in a plein air studio that he constructed on the East End during the summer of 2013. With the 9 x 7 ft acrylic on unprimed canvas Southampton Suite paintings, the artist created an immersive environment that continues his quest to “. . .replicate a natural process with manmade tools.” The ten works on view here from 2013 have never been shown as a group. Smith’s paintings, made by filling an empty fire extinguisher with paint and spraying the canvas, became widely known soon after his 2011 graduation from Cooper Union. What appealed to Smith was the way he was able to replicate a natural process—rain—with a manmade tool. For the first Rain Paintings series, Murmur of the Heart, he used blue and yellow paint; after this initial investigations he began to use a monochromatic approach, taking a cue from the traditional depiction of rain in Japanese woodblock prints.   Friday Nights at the Parrish are made possible, in part, by Presenting Sponsor:  Additional support provided by Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder.

Chief Curator Alicia Longwell in conversation with painter Lucien Smith - 10/2/20

Creating this podcast has provided me with a gift of release, an opportunity to explore my thoughts and my emotions in the form of art. A form for creativity and self-expression to hold. An art form that uses a collaboration of things I love...Music, writing, storytelling, people, and the passions that drive us.Since his passing, I have thought of Lucien every day.I've plotted and planned the idea behind this episode. I've spoken with friends, family, and sometimes strangers...I've been mentored by other artists who have no idea I exist.I've spoken to an audience that I've imagined, and in the process, I've captured an emotion that I have been struggling to understand for months:Grief.I've spoken to the memory of a friend, a spirit that even now, months after his passing, continues to influence my words, and my actions.Lucien's story is a courageous example of why we must pursue our passions while we are here.The dreams we have, the ideas we imagine, are meant for exploring.Every one of us has an opportunity to express ourselves, to share ourselves as honest and open as we can...in pursuit of truth.Truth that gets provided by the emotions we experience, the lives we create, and the energy we receive from those we love.This is the first episode of "Inside the Minds Eye", a podcast where we take an introspective look at the thoughts, ideas, and emotions experienced of those who are pursuing a dream.The goal is to capture the magic of reality within the confines of a podcast, a prism into the heart and soul of those who live for passion.Luciens passion has helped guide me into my own story. A story that will continue as I pursue a dream:To develop a fully functioning social media platform built around an environment of non-judgement. A gateway into the thoughts, emotions, and ideas of any individual who engages with the platform. A hub of connectivity, exploring ourselves introspectively on a social media client that provides real connections with other people who strive to be the truest version of themselves.Its a lofty goal, but I have a vision, and I have faith...Hopefully, with the help of others, we will be able to build something we can all experience.-Adam Abramowitz-Creative Director/Founder of U.I. Minds Eyewww.UIMindsEye.comThe Music Featured on this Episode:"Inside the Minds Eye Theme"- Written and Produced by Chase Perry (Theme song includes elements of "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears and audio excerpts from David Foster Wallace and Alan Watts)The background music for this episode was taken entirely from the album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" by the band M83.Tracks used in order of appearance are as follows:"Intro""Where the Boats Go""When Will You Come Home'"Soon, My Friend""My Tears are Becoming a Sea""Outro"If you enjoy the episode and want to support the development of U.I.
