Photo: © Kevin Scanlon Used with permission.Win­ston Smith’s tech­nique of cut­ting out by hand and glu­ing each indi­vid­ual ele­ment has inspired a gen­er­a­tion of artists.

 

He is clas­si­cally trained in Renais­sance art, hav­ing left the U.S. in 1969 to study at the Acad­emy of Fine Arts in Flo­rence, where he lived for sev­eral years before mov­ing to Rome.

 

Over the last 35 years, Win­ston has had numer­ous one-man shows in San Fran­cisco, Los Ange­les, New York City, Lon­don, Berlin, Antwerp, Rome and Tokyo, as well as group shows through­out the United States and Europe.

 

“Win­ston Smith’s col­lage art is a cut­ting sociopo­lit­i­cal com­men­tary on the late 20th Cen­tury.  Irrev­er­ent in style, each unique piece is burst­ing with color and kinetic ideas.”  – H.R. Giger
