Palm trees are a classical motif, much like the shape of an amphora. I liked the idea of using palm trees because they allude in a way to the beauty of water, and I wanted to choose an image that would respect the form.

Collect a hand-painted ceramic amphora by Josh Smith, launched in support of charity: water.
Motifs quickly become obsessions for Josh Smith. Palm trees painted in silhouette are a focal point of his psychedelic beachscapes. He considers the trees a classical motif, tied closely with water, making his 2019 painting Palms #1 the perfect reference for the ancient form and practical function of an amphora.
The artwork belongs to a series of seven, conceived and crafted in a transatlantic collaboration between Artspace and Avant Arte. Proceeds will support charity: water in their endeavour to end the global water crisis.

Josh Smith1 collaborationSensitivity is a virtue in artworks by Josh Smith. He is thoughtful about the ideas communicated by both their subject matter and his painterly techniques – “I want people to look at my work and understand exactly how it was made.” His brush strokes are bold, directional and always exposed. For Josh, that rawness is central to his life and practice. “I don’t want to become less sensitive,” he says, “I just put it in the art.”
