​​With over 30 years of painting behind him, Wayne Smith continues to explore the Australian landscape through bold colour, strong line, and richly textured surfaces. His latest series, inspired by earth and water, combines structured, almost woodblock-like forms with fluid, expressive paintwork, creating landscapes that feel both familiar and quietly surreal.

A distinctive feature of Wayne’s work is a subtle luminescence that appears in low light. Using a special additive applied to areas where moonlight would naturally fall, the paintings absorb daylight and softly glow once the room is dark. As your eyes adjust, the landscape slowly reveals itself like starlight emerging in the night sky giving each piece the feeling of two paintings in one.

These works offer collectors something truly unique: atmospheric Australian landscapes with depth, texture, and a living presence that changes from day to night.
