Collection: Derick Smith

Your eyes are not deceiving you! Irish artist Derick Smith turns acrylic paint into sculpture by creating wavy forms that undulate off the canvas. Smith pushes painting into three dimensions with his striped surfaces that sit between abstraction and object.

The vibe is vibrancy in works bursting with joyful color in a Pop Art style that will brighten your day.

Smith’s work is held in public and private collections internationally, including the Irish State Art Collection, and has been exhibited widely across Ireland, Europe, and the United States.

Available works at Galactic Panther include intimate and mid-scale pieces well suited for both established and emerging collections. Each piece is distinctive, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire work by an artist with a proven exhibition history and growing international recognition.

His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions globally from 2005 to present with solo shows in New York (2009) Dublin (2015, 2017), Munich (2017), Athlone (2022), and Meath (2023). Smith has received various awards and  residencies throughout his career.
