Willie Wayne Smith is the Co-Head of Painting at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Working mostly in acrylics and airbrush, his practice is highly influenced by various art historical movements including Photorealism, Assemblage, Pop Art, and Surrealism. Through his artistic practice, he has worked to develop a unique visual language, creating paintings that feel simultaneously familiar and unsettling. Dreamlike and often bizarre, Smith’s compositions seek to challenge the viewer’s perception of depth and reality. Check out this piece and others at Nik Pence Gallery on Saturdays 12-6pm
