About The Artwork

"Road Work Ahead" explores the tension between written and non-verbal communication, utility and fashion. Smith uses discarded road signs as his initial canvas. He then carefully overlays stylized outlines of fashion-forward female figures. Strategically stripping away the paint below to reveal plywood patterns in the wood below or collaging elements on top. The canvas may become skin or clothing…effectively merging and blurring the distinction between object and subject.

• 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.
