Deconstructed By Smithe

Maintenance (Via)

Smithe is a Mexican street artist and illustrator who recently switched gears to focus on a new theme, deconstruction. My first encounter with his work was during the Austin music festival called SXSW, in the form of a promotional poster (After the break) for a show at a famous local bar. All his recent pieces feature faces deconstructed, showing off odd and crude innner workings, aesthetically reminiscent of retro scifi pulp comics. Smithe has also had the chance to dabble in sculpture and massive scale street art, with a time lapse of his 'Brick and Meat' piece available for you to check out after the break, along with more work from this set. Enjoy.
