Emily Mae Smith Debuts @ Perrotin, Tokyo www.juxtapoz.com

Smith exuberantly utilizes elements of many painting movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism, and Pop art, while conceiving lively compositions filled with social and political commentary.
Although painting for over 20 years now, Smith did not receive notable recognition until 2013.
Fully employing all the properties of oil paint, Smith's images gleam with hyper-vibrant hues, fuzzy softness, and immaculate use of unusual gradients.
"I kind of always painted gradients since I learned how to paint with oil paint.
Emily Mae Smith's solo exhibition, Avalon, opens August 28 and is on view through November 9, 2019.
