Points Made.

In The Menu, Visual Arts by Akeem K. Duncan.1 Comment

The following portraits by Jasper Smith possess a pointillistic allure that is beyond memorable. Confined within a quaint circle, Smith’s portraits are a collection of down-to-earth, around-the-way girls, astronauts, and Golden Age rappers.

The intentional graininess of the portraits give them a warm, old-timey quality. It is this charming outdatedness, combined with the modern nuances of the subjects, that make Smith’s work uniquely palpable.
