For over a decade, Smith has refined his distinctive artistic style, developing a unique and instantly recognisable visual language through abstraction and collage. His work has evolved across numerous solo exhibitions, each honing his craft and expanding his reach. With a considered approach to colour and composition, his pieces explore themes of perception, language, and cultural symbolism. Today, his work is held in collections worldwide, a testament to the depth and resonance of his ever-evolving practice.

Through employing and experimenting with colour swatches, Smith is able to explore the intersection of image and word. The combination of language and visual allows a multi-layered exploration into contemporary cultural icons and art historical concepts; the text is often narrative, encouraging the viewer to look deeper than just the visual.

The words sit below or in between the colour swatches, interrupting the blank space between the snippets of pigment. This added element of language subverts or compliments the accompanying image, drawing the viewer in - literally. From large-scale to micro, Smith’s works play with scale. The pixelated ‘image’ is only visible from a distance, whilst the words can only be read up close. This experimentation with perspective allows the viewer to interact with his works in a tangible way, provoking contemplation.
