About the Item
Artist Comments
A mythical horse stands poised, its head turned to the side. Its electric blue mane and warm-toned body create a vivid contrast. A red apple hanging on its tail adds a touch of whimsy and surreal charm to the scene. This artwork is part of artist Timothy Banks' series, which explores unexpected animal forms using cubist-style geometry and watercolor.
About the Artist
Artist Timothy Banks paints stylized animals that look like origami brought to life—folded with precision, yet softened by the fluidity of watercolor. “Each animal begins as a sketch, but I build in movement, memory, and personality as I go,†says Timothy. A longtime illustrator with a background in children’s books and commercial work, he eventually turned his attention to personal paintings filled with bold shapes, layered colors, and expressive lines. His animals often hint at something deeper: a quiet emotion, a sense of play, or a flash of familiarity. Timothy works from a sun-drenched parlor studio in a historic 19th-century Charleston building with tall ceilings and views of the city’s rooftops. When he’s not painting, he’s usually cycling around town, kayaking through Lowcountry creeks, or making art with his three daughters.

Artist Dwight Smith depicts a realistic culinary-themed still life. "The bottle opener was of my dad and mom's from so long ago I don't remember when," shares Dwight. He paints a bright red apple on its side adjacent to it. A focused light source highlights the foreground, while strong contrasts of dark shadows in the background frame the elements.
About the Artist
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.
