Lucien Smith
Smith is an American contemporary artist best known for his abstract process art works, whose compositions are free-form and feature both accidental and impromptu marks throughout.
His series of Rain Paintings, created using fire extinguishers filled with paint, are considered classic examples of what critics in the early 2010s called Zombie Formalism.
"People have an idea of what art should look like, so it's easy to make something that looks like art but isn't, especially if it's an abstract form. I've been guilty of that in the past, but the way to avoid that dangerous territory is to have the methods and the ideas, those tools that you need before what the final piece is going to look like," Smith says.
Born on April 15, 1989 in Los Angeles, California, she attended Cooper Union School of Art and Design, graduating with a BFA in 2011, and served as a studio assistant for artist Dan Colen.
Smith's career was marked by rapid success and he had an exhibition at Salon 94 when Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn discovered his work while he was still a student.
Since then, he has exhibited at New York's Skarstedt Gallery, Marianne Boesky Gallery, and Half Gallery. Smith continues to live and work in New York, New York. (Artnet)
