Josh Smith is a New York- and Tennessee-based artist working with painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and artist’s books. He first emerged in the early 2000s for a series of paintings that depicted his own name as the primary motif, allowing him to experiment freely with abstraction, figuration, and other expressive possibilities. His work has since evolved to varied imagery and includes series’ featuring grim reapers, leaves, fish, streetscapes, and palm trees.
