The picture series about farm life preserves key moments and moods during daily working routine. The pictures tell a story about human leading on, organising, and selecting NZ farm animals, and the gate between them.
"Part of my ambition as an artist is to express emotion and thought simultaneously."
Barry Ross Smith was born and raised in New Zealand. His professional training included sign writing and commercial artist. Meeting and painting with an American artist in 1995 led his focus to take pleasure in outdoor scenes and life models.
The very first public exhibition was held in 2008, the year he too started to study at Whitecliffe School of Art in Parnell, Auckland to gain his Master of Fine Arts degree.
