Silas Clifford-Smith

"Silas moves easily between figurative and abstract styles... While a large man, he prefers to work on a small scale. His acrylic paintings include decorative abstracts as well as realist landscapes inspired by the hills near his rural home in Capertee, New South Wales. He is especially drawn to the light and shadows of dusk; works that reflect an understated melancholia not seen in his works on paper"
