Description
The most comprehensive overview of artist Josh Smithâ?Ts radicaltechnicolor paintings. Josh Smith: Emo Jungle looks at the artistâ?Ts vigorous repetition of particular motifs, illuminating his approach to painting as an exploratory medium for image production. Published on the occasion of Smithâ?Ts critically acclaimed first exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue features a new body of work that marks an important evolution for the artist. In these paintings, Smith sets the stage for a new mode of self-reflective commentary on image making, acknowledging that â?othe meaning perhaps arises in the making.â??A new essay by Bob Nickas treats the Reaper, Turtle, and Devil figures from Emo Jungle as ciphers through which to understand Smithâ?Ts work. Nickas demonstrates how these new paintings restage and personalize the artistâ?Ts more abstract earlier works and illuminates the ways in which repetition functions within Smithâ?Ts practice. With more than one hundred illustrations, this book serves as the ideal introduction to Smithâ?Ts disruptive oeuvre.
