ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is a monotype print on Bristol paper made using stencils with a Gelliplate. My Artists in Action series is inspired by my experiences working on murals at the Welling Court Mural project and other public art events in New York. Based on my photos that capture street artists, many of whom are friends, immersed in the creative process. I carefully edit the photos and remove parts of the background to eliminate distractions, so that the focus is on the gesture of the artist in action. These modified images find a new life on unconventional canvases like scraps of wood, old doors and signs and vary in size. I start by loosely underpainting the surfaces before applying the subject using stencils, image transfer, paint and monotype printing.

• Chris Smith, AKA “subtexture”, is a Brooklyn-based artist and designer who works across a variety of visual media. He’s not a “street artist” in the traditional sense; rather, he makes art using objects found on the street. Road signs, rusted metal, and abandoned lumber all serve as ingredients. • Influences include pop artists like Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. Cross-country road trips, roadside Americana, vintage car culture and pin-ups never fail to inspire him. Like these artists, a lot of his work is heavily rooted in his photography. From his countless road trips to his years exploring the streets of Brooklyn, Smith looks at the world around him and uses bits of it as source material for his art. • A graduate of Pratt Institute, Chris has shown extensively in independent galleries, bars and other alternative spaces around his native Brooklyn. He uses his skills as a curator to support small business and local organizations. • His 20 years of producing art shows in the Greenpoint area include many local organizations such as GoGreen Brooklyn, Greenpoint Gallery Night, Greenpoint Open Studios, Bushwick Open Studios and the Northside Alliance. • Chris’ artworks have appeared on multiple television shows, including Saturday Night Live, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Law & Order SVU and Elementary.
