Education


Smith graduated with a BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2011.[4]


Art market


Artsy estimated in 2014 that Smith generated a total of $3.7 million at auction that year.[5]

Smith is associated with other young painters such Oscar Murillo and Jacob Kassay whose work has appreciated rapidly and are favored by collectors for investment-ready fare.[6] A work from Smith's 2011 Cooper Union graduate show was resold in November 2013 for $389,000.[6] In February 2014, his work Two Sides of the Same Coin sold for £224,500 at a Sotheby's auction in London.[7]


Serving the People


In 2017, Smith launched the Serving the People (STP) an organization building the future of creativity, collaboration, and communication. Guided by a network of creatives and technologists, STP aims to rebuild the infrastructure for cultural participation.[8][9]


Artworks



Rain Paintings


In 2011, Smith executed a suite of abstractions he calls Rain Paintings, which he creates by spraying fire extinguishers filled with paint.[10] In 2014 an example of these works titled Two Sides of the Same Coin sold at Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Auction London's first lot for $372,000 against an estimate of $66,000–99,000.[11][12]


Tigris Paintings


In 2014, Smith produced Tigris, a show of 11 camouflage-patterned abstract paintings, inspired by the recollection of the first work of art that strongly impacted him—Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa.[13][6] The exhibit was described as "undistinguished" and "a shrewd career move".[6]
