Zak Smith is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Syracuse, NY, in 1976, he attended a magnet school for the arts in Washington, D.C. He received a BFA from Cooper Union in New York City in 1998 and an MFA from Yale University in 2001.
His intricate works move from sharply rendered poignancy to candy-colored excess. Within a general atmosphere of a dazed freneticism, he offers uncanny and excessive painted portraits, synthetically luminous abstractions, drawings, and experimental photographs. Zak Smith's Illustrations For Each Page of Gravity's Rainbow were included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial.
