The Freshwater Five
This animation has been created from one of my original oil paintings called ‘The Freshwater Five’
The piece is meditative; it draws you in and holds you there, like looking into a roaring fire. Where once you were looking at a moving image, you are now considering your role in life; and what you begin to understand is you are looking into your inner-self as you extract memory from the meditation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in England, Melbourne-based SMART | Pop Artist migrated to Australia in 2005 where he now works as a modern pop artist exploring the theme of 'the ordinary and everyday'
His work continuously sells for thousands of dollars and he is constantly compared with both Andy Warhol and Wayne Thiebaud; but this is not something he agrees to, preferring to be labelled more as Anti-Warhol rather than Andy Warhol
"As an artist with physical paintings, I am going to move all my work onto block-chain in the short-term and streamline my online presence by removing almost all of my accounts with online galleries except for one or two
I believe that selling on Rarible is the way forward and this is especially so when someone sees my work on my insta page but then buys the piece via an online gallery; the gallery gets to keep up to 50% in commission for doing no work and this, as a practice, needs to end."
