Lighthouse ArtCenter Presents

Tyler K. Smith: Brainz ’N Boltz

A Futuristic Journey Into The Fusion Of Art And Technology

Lighthouse ArtCenter is proud to present “Tyler K. Smith:
Brainz ’N Boltz,” a solo exhibition of painting, drawing,
and sculpture from January 16 through February 22. For the
exhibition, Tyler K. Smith has created a cast of fantastical
characters and futuristic machines that revel in technology
and race through a smog-choked world.
Inspired by his upbringing on a farm where he was
constantly repairing machinery by day and absorbing the
popular culture of the 1960s on TV at night, Smith brings an
imaginative vision and technical mastery to his “BOMBOTZ”
universe. Drawing on his diverse career spanning art,
theatre, television, and film, Smith depicts the visceral and
the mechanical in harmony to create dynamic and powerful
gestural statements that celebrate dramatic action and embody
extreme speed.

“Brainz ’N Boltz is a must-see for art enthusiasts, sci-fi and
comic book fans, and anyone who appreciates the intersection
of highbrow and lowbrow culture,” said Anthony Record,
curator at Lighthouse ArtCenter.
The exhibition includes 10-foot-tall robots made from Art Happenings on page 13
painted cardboard, graphite drawings on 8-foot-long panels,
painted ceramics, as well as a display of sketchbooks, 3-D
models, and archival photos that illustrate Smith’s creative True Treasures
process and the development of his “BOMBOTZ” universe.
The exhibition opens with a reception on January 16, from Consigned Furniture
5 to 7 p.m.. at Lighthouse ArtCenter Gallery, 373 Tequesta
Drive, Tequesta, FL 33469. Guests will have the opportunity & Home Décor
to meet Tyler K. Smith and a real-life BOMBOT (his son in
costume). Members receive free admission; a $5 suggested
donation is available for non-members. TrueTreasuresInc.com
Brainz ’N Boltz will feature two exclusive concerts by
Jason Newsted and Friends in a special celebration of Smith’s Why pay retail when you can find a True Treasure?
work in the gallery. Six-time Grammy Award winner and
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jason Newsted will
perform live, surrounded by Smith’s artwork, creating a one-
of-a-kind immersive experience where music and visual art Now Accepting
unite. Concert details and ticket information can be found at Consignments
