The most comprehensive overview of artist Josh Smith's
radicaltechnicolor paintings. Josh Smith: Emo Jungle looks at the
artist's vigorous repetition of particular motifs, illuminating his
approach to painting as an exploratory medium for image production.
Published on the occasion of Smith's critically acclaimed first
exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue features a new body of
work that marks an important evolution for the artist. In these
paintings, Smith sets the stage for a new mode of self-reflective
commentary on image making, acknowledging that "the meaning perhaps
arises in the making." A new essay by Bob Nickas treats the Reaper,
Turtle, and Devil figures from Emo Jungle as ciphers through which
to understand Smith's work. Nickas demonstrates how these new
paintings restage and personalize the artist's more abstract
earlier works and illuminates the ways in which repetition
functions within Smith's practice. With more than one hundred
illustrations, this book serves as the ideal introduction to
Smith's disruptive oeuvre.
