Urban Planning is a solo exhibition by multimedia artist Lauren Smith incorporating painting, drawing, installation and sculpture. The show conceptually explores the imagery and function of gutters and their downspout counterparts within a gallery setting. The exhibition offers a dueling dialogue between the natural and urban landscapes. In most cases there is an intentional reference to water and its destructive capabilities. However, the extreme calm and order seen in the works communicates a certain level of control over or complacency towards the threats of water.
Smith is a visiting artist in residence from Mount Laurel, New Jersey. This exhibition displays the work she has produced since moving to San Francisco in January just four short months ago. Learn more at www.LaurenSmithStudio.com
