Carl Smith
Double Trouble - Two Red Guitars Original Music Instrument Painting on Canvas

2016

About the Item

Carl Smith combines his own photographic material with drawings and other fragments of narrative imagery onto canvas. He works with several layout combinations before creating a finished image. From this image, he selects and transmits specific parts onto a canvas in a screen printing process and further completes his works with oil paint. With the use of imagery he tells slightly absurd and humorous visual anecdotes. The process of making these narrative works is what Smith refers to as, 'Drawing with Pictures'. This 37" tall by 38" wide one-of-a-kind artwork is wired and ready to hang. It is signed and dated on the front of the artwork. The sides are painted by the artist as a continuation of the front, and it does not require framing. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity is included. Carl Smith is an American artist who has been living in Berlin, Germany, since 2001. He works with a combination of silkscreen printing, collage, and painting to create his urban inspired artworks. In his art Smith explores the area between Pop Art and Surrealism. Each carefully constructed artwork is a unique compilation of images brought together to tell a story with a seemingly endless narrative that excites the viewer. Carl Smith is originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and studied art at Cooper Union in New York. He has exhibited his work in France, Germany, Norway, Holland, USA and England in numerous solo shows or as a member of a four man team called TABI. He was chosen as one of five artists who exhibited at the Berliner Liste, invited to exhibit in the 2012 Paris Mac art fair as a featured guest of the organizers.
