Prolific artist, and the man behind Adelaides amazing Espionage Gallery, Joshua Smith, is having another solo show this Thursday night – and its one for everyone.
Josh is a phenomenally cool stencil artist, up there with the best of them . Often feminine in nature, his work is vibrant and alluring, belying the effort that often goes into the design and cutting processes behind each piece. When we caught up with Joshua in an interview a few months ago, we got the overwhelming impression of a creative, hard working and passionate artist – and this next show looks pretty damn cool.
"Internationally renowned stencil artist and gallery director Joshua
Smith is unveiling his newest solo show, 300, with the premise of making his art affordable for everyone.
As the title suggests, all the pieces in the exhibition will be market at
that price, creating equal opportunity for all to get their hands on a Joshua Smith original. The work Smith does on the streets is for all to enjoy, and instead of making art on canvases to cater only for collectors, he felt it was important to hold an exhibition of work that was affordable for everyone. With his extremely collectible art, and over 104 exhibitions worldwide, Smith is a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, he recently took out the 2011 King of Canvas aerosol art
prize, in addition to being a 2011 Australian Stencil Art Prize
finalist.
Needless to say, this exhibition is not to be missed."
