The sculpture “Reclining I” by New York artist Smith depicts a sensuous, nude woman reclining on a chair, her head tilted back and supported by one hand. Smith is renowned for his remarkable interplay of light and shadow. When properly illuminated, the wire mesh sculpture casts a sharp, detailed shadow on the wall or canvas, often revealing more intricate details than the sculpture itself. This effect creates a compelling 3D illusion.
Mounted on a canvas or hung freely, each piece is handcrafted and unique, shaped by Smith using wooden tools. His works frequently portray women in aesthetic, graceful poses, with the minimalist wire design emphasizing the elegance of the form and the dynamic interaction of light.
“Reclining I” exemplifies Smith’s mastery of creating visual depth through shadow, inviting the viewer to appreciate the relationship between light, space, and form in a novel way.
