NIU School of Art and Design Instructor of Drawing Geoffrey Todd Smith’s show, Assembly at Western Exhibitions was featured in the online art magazine Colossal. 

Continually drawn to abstraction and geometry, Smith is known for his mesmerizing works that infuse elaborate, often zigzagged motifs with simple structures. Vibrant spheres seem to spill across the paper, creating trippy, symmetric compositions bursting with energy.

The show runs at Western Exhibitions from February 28 to April 12. To see more of Smith’s work, visit his website and Instagram.
