The first comprehensive study of Smith's famous practice.
\n
\nFound Ground is the first comprehensive survey of Australian artist Gemma Smith’s practice, which integrates a rigorous and playful approach to painting and sculpture. Smith’s freewheeling painting pushes and pulls on the pure joy of colour, while her quest for understanding pushes against painterly conventions. Her monument-like, crystalline sculptures also express her dynamic control of colour. Multifaceted and multicoloured, they forge mutant relationships with Smith’s paintings that create new and unexpected correlations.
\n
\nFound Ground is an immersive experience, offering an in-depth look at Smith’s work. This sumptuous 176-page hardcover volume features works from across Smith’s career. Inspired by Smith’s explorations of color theory and abstraction, the book is designed with a unique hardcover with folded corners, colored page edges, and special multi-colored pages with folded corners. The book also features a custom typeface, designed in response to Smith’s experiments with form and geometry.
