Josh Smith - Welcome to America

Josh Smith 
Welcome to America 
2024 
Woodcut on Rolled Okawara paper
76 x 51 cm
Ed 30 + 5 AP, signed and numbered on the front

For this edition, Josh Smith reworked stencils into a woodcut that displays a boyish yet gloomy scenery of stars, bats, ghosts, serpents, and eerie bug-like forms.
“Woodcut has a raw, tactile quality that strips everything down to its essentials – a quality I’ve always been drawn to in painting and printmaking. It feels regal, and also clumsily American.” Josh Smith, 2024 / Spike Art Magazine
