"Smith's work often took on, critiqued, ridiculed and subverted the imagery of mainstream Americana as well as the US Modern art orthodoxy across paintings, sculptures, prints and more. She made works reminiscent of Andy Warhol that riffed on advertising iconography, intricate collages and transfers evocative of Robert Rauschenberg, and paintings based on the flag and map of the US that interpollated Jasper Johns."
"In addition to painting and moving image work, Lynch pursued printmaking, sculpture and photography; in 2021-22, a survey of his photos travelled to institutions in Switzerland and Denmark. In photography, he told Time Out his biggest influences were William Eggleston, Joel-Peter Witkin and Diane Arbus on the occasion of a 2014 exhibition at London's Photographers' Gallery. "The art life is a great life," Lynch told Artforum in 2019. "It's coffee and cigarettes, maybe some red wine.""
