Vincent Smith “Seventies New York”
Alexandre Gallery
This event has ended.
Alexandre Gallery presents an exhibition of Vincent Smith’s (American, 1929 – 2003) work from the early 1970s.
This focused show will include six medium-sized paintings and one woodcut print that depict tenements and streets during this tumultuous period in New York. Using his mature style of layering the canvas with rough sand-thickened paint and collage elements to create stucco-like surfaces in bright deep brick reds and blacks, Smith captures the rhythms and intricacies of the city in his signature expressionist social realist style. Each includes a figure or more, often seen through a window or doorway, seemingly trapped or imprisoned in their surroundings. Titles include Home From Vietnam, On a Sunny Day, The Projects, and The Super.
