Greg Parma Smith (born 1983, Cambridge, Massachusetts)[1] is a New York-based painter. He is known for his precise painterly realism, which incorporates elements of academic figuration, representational painting, neo-pop, and appropriation art.[2]
In his work Smith samples the iconography of comics, neoclassical nudes, graffiti, Song Dynasty literati painting, and trompe l’oeil arabesques.[3] As described in MAY No.17, Smith critiques “the way in which subcultures are brought into a dominant domain” by highlighting “exploitative taboos long repressed and smoothed over in so-called high-low narratives in advanced art."[2]
