Jo Smith, I AM

  • Jo Smith Studio Gallery 9 Market Street Northampton, MA, 01060 United States (map)

This exciting new work looks at polarity and considers how currently we use TEXT to express ourselves in important moments. Incorporating language into visual art can feel too easy, almost like giving the viewer the answer to a question they haven't been asked. These images will ask you to look, consider, puzzle, and discover. Sometimes the last letter of one word is the first letter of the next word. In some cases, this creates even more words. The different colored letters also sometimes spell words. The bold colors in all caps TEXT us important messages about Culture, Sexuality, Mortality and Gender. This new work holds onto the typical beauty of Jo's paintings while integrating bold contradictions and bravery into a sensual harmony.
