La Fausse Note (2019) Collages by Smith Smith

SMITH SMITH A surrealist sap runs through Smith Smith's collages, spreading in half-tones. The creator's lineage doesn't define his identity, it merely initiates it: his freedom of thought, his taste for the beauty of the inappropriate, prevents any simplistic retro-collage. His creative personality is in constant exploration. Let us be mindful of images, of the weight of words! While he draws inspiration naturally, Smith Smith also seeks, above all, to depart, to develop new shockwaves, other currents on a foreign planet, a palette of collages, of formal galaxies where caesuras are his imaginary fractures, resonances his rhymes, colors his contemporary music, and defragmentations his experimental sonic rhythms. Beyond the Surrealism that so clearly permeates it, for Smith Smith, collage is a means of expressing his ideas, translating magic into anagrams (images), posing contemporary questions, describing unexpected realms of offbeat poetry, electroacoustic melodies, and works of sonic art. This multifaceted artist rejects folds, Euclidean space, and models. He combines all manner of elements (follies) to see, even unconsciously, what sound will emerge; he carefully avoids answering the questions raised, provided we take off with him, that we journey back and forth. An accomplished musician, he is a kind of John Cage of Collage! Marie-Hélène Barreau Montbazet, Vice-President of Maecene Arts, PhD in Art History
