A double catalogue covering two manifestations at Xavier Hufkens gallery by Josh Smith, who is known for painting series of simple yet highly distinctive visual motifs. Part of the New York-based artist’s ongoing process of image production and experimentation, the paintings are autonomous entities but also part of a larger “family” of interrelated works. ‘Finding Emo’ (2019) featured new paintings and monotypes depicting the Grim Reaper. Following on that was ‘Keyhole’ (2022), in which Smith showed a new series of large-format paintings and figurative monotypes in which he addresses abstraction, expanding on this recurrent theme in terms of scale, palette, and energy.
