Josh Fish

A bronze fish sculpture by Josh Smith is rendered with a rich green and red patina, lending the work an aged, organic quality. The incorporation of a found can introduces an element of everyday detritus into the sculptural form, blurring the boundary between fine art and discarded material culture. Smith's irreverent approach infuses the piece with a playful yet thought-provoking tension between the handcrafted and the mundane.
