The Teenager. A show of drawings and photographs
sintesi del comunicato stampa
The Teenager. Drawings and photographs. The work on this show deals with the culture of beauty and self-denial that besets contemporary teenagers, particularly teenage girls. In particular, Smith's images deal with processes involved in eating disorders and excessive exercise. The artist has taught at various high schools around Johannesburg for almost ten years, and during that time has become interested in how the maintenance of beauty and striving for perfection manifest as extreme preoccupations in teenagers.
