CARMICHAEL, CA (MPG) - West Sacramento painter Gregory Smith took up a brush to comment on the selfie phenomenon.

His acrylic – inevitably called “Selfie” – recently won the artist Best of Show Award at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center’s Magnum Opus exhibition.

“There’s always room for social commentary in art,” says exhibition chair Carole Brewer. “Gregory is a master painter. We were happy to have his work – along with 100 other equally masterful works – in our exhibition.”

A 35-year tradition, the Center’s Magnum Opus show can be viewed in Carmichael until March 25. It includes entries from all over the world. Selected pieces include landscapes paintings, sculptures, photos and ceramics. Most exhibits are for sale.

Sacramento Fine Arts Center is located at 5330-D Gibbons Drive, Carmichael.
