Anj Smith — Drifting Habitations
This November critically admired British artist Anj Smith will debut an exceptional new series of paintings in her first New York solo exhibition in nearly ten years. Known for intimate, intricately rendered canvases that explore questions of identity, eroticism, anxiety and mortality, Smith’s new work takes on a larger scale to explore notions of atopia, a concept beautifully elucidated by Roland Barthes as ‘drifting habitations,’ through subverting the genre of the female nude. Atopia challenges the notion of fixed locations and invites us to consider the fluidity of our experiences and perceptions of the world. Delving into the complex relationship between self and space, the very nature of our connections to the environments we inhabit is questioned in Smith’s luminous works.
