Josh Smith

This work exemplifies Josh Smith's characteristic approach to printmaking, combining the gestural immediacy of monotype with the controlled precision of lithography to create a layered composition in color. The artist's use of Somerset Satin paper with full margins emphasizes the materiality of the print while allowing the viewer to appreciate the technical virtuosity required to merge these two distinct printmaking processes. The work reflects Smith's broader practice of interrogating authorship and representation through abstract and figurative elements.

Medium
Monotype and lithograph in colours, on Somerset Satin paper, with full margins.
