Josh Smith (b. 1976, Okinawa, Japan) is a New York-based artist known for his diverse practice encompassing painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and artist’s books. He gained early recognition in the 2000s for a series of canvases featuring his own name, a motif that allowed him to experiment freely with abstraction, figuration, and the expressive potential of paint. Over the years, Smith’s work has expanded to include a wide range of imagery, from grim reapers and fish to palm trees, leaves, and streetscapes, each explored through distinct series. His art is marked by a joyful and prolific spirit of experimentation, pushing the boundaries of painting while demonstrating a keen awareness of its traditions and history.
