Paul Anthony Smith's 'Antillean' exhibition showcases his shift from traditional photographic clarity to complex, layered representations that interrogate diasporic identity and cultural heritage.
Through his innovative picotage and spray painting techniques, Smith transforms photographs from Trinidad's Carnival into intricate paintings that invite deeper interpretation and challenge visual perception.
In 'Caricom 2', Smith masterfully combines traditional Caribbean motifs with modern techniques, highlighting the experience of 'reading' images and inviting viewers to question their interpretations.
Smith's recurring symbols, such as palm trees and clouded sunsets, are interrogated within his artistic process, proposing photographs as layered representations rather than mere information vessels.
