Last Supper 2009 Art – Chris Smith

Chris Smith

Artist: Chris Smith

Title: Road Work Ahead

Size: Various

Medium: painting on old road signs

His latest work entitled “Road Work Ahead” is an ongoing appropriated art series that  explores the tension between written and non-verbal communication, utility and fashion. Smith uses discarded road signs as his initial canvas. He then carefully overlays stylized outlines of fashion-forward female figures. Strategically stripping away the paint below to reveal plywood patterns in the wood below or collaging elements on top. The canvas may become skin or clothing…effectively merging and blurring the distinction between object and subject.
