It is the processes that present Josh Smith’s

2009

A sprawling, fragmented composition spread across four panels, this mixed media work embodies Josh Smith's characteristically restless and process-driven approach to artmaking. Layers of paint, collage, and varied materials accumulate and collide across the surface, reflecting the artist's interest in spontaneity, repetition, and the raw energy of creation itself. The multi-part format amplifies a sense of expansive, uncontained momentum, inviting viewers to follow the visual rhythm of Smith's intuitive mark-making.

mixed media on panel, in four parts
