Profile Information

First Name: chris

Last Name: smith

Age: 35-55

Which of the following best describe you?: Illustrator, Painter, Graphic Designer

How often are you the first among your friends to try something new?: Very often

What do you want people to know most about you?: Chris Smith’s Road Work Ahead is an ongoing appropriated art series
that explores the tension between written and non-verbal communication, utility and fashion.

A graphic designer whose work includes fashion typography and design,
letterpress, collage, photography as well as traditional painting, Smith uses discarded road signs as his initial canvas. He then carefully overlays stylized outlines of fashion-forward female figures, often strategically stripping away the paint below to revea plywood patterns in the wood. The canvas may become skin or clothing… effectively merging and blurring the distinction between object andsubject.

Through his Road Work Ahead series, Smith explores communication,
interpretation and misinterpretation through a functional every day object – the road sign. A road sign may clearly spell out “Do Not Enter” or “Road Closed” yet is populated with women, brazenly, openly and often playfully disobeying the sign’s instructions. What was once clearly didactic is now meaningfully obscured. Through this series, Smith explores and shines a light upon what most men discover as adolescents: attempting to read ‘signs’ that women give is confounding at best. No means no. But, a glance over the shoulder? Come hither? Stay away? It’s unclear, yet clearly relatable to the male populace.

Road Work Ahead with its bright orange backgrounds and simple black and white contrasts is immensely enjoyable at first glance, and upon closer contemplation slyly considers the intersection of authority and free will.
