Solly Smook
Solly is a contemporary Expressionist painter whose goal, through a continued pursuit of the more contemporary, is to create works that engage with matters beyond what is immediately visible.
For Solo Studios 2022, he has added contemporary landscapes to his portfolio. Combining modern, surrealist colours in oil with charcoal and spraypaint, he attempts to rethink the conventions of landscape painting.

Solly was born in Namibia and studied graphic design. Starting his career with surrealist landscape paintings, he progressed to a more contemporary style, with portraiture as his focus. He has had over 40 very successful group and solo exhibitions, and his work hangs in the homes of art lovers all over the world.
