Justine Smith | Show Me The Money | New Editions

   

Now available on our website are two stunning new limited edition prints by Justine Smith; A Bigger Bang Black - Diamond Dust, and Blow. The former (see above) was created especially for the exhibition 'Show Me The Money' which is currently being shown in two parts at Chawton House Library, Hampshire, and John Hansard Gallery, Southampton University.

The exhibition explores how art and culture has engaged with various aspects of the financial world over the last three centuries, illuminating its mechanisms and encouraging the viewer to think anew about the nature of finance.

Justine's exploration of currency is also present in Blow. This powerful and provocative print is the partner image of 2012's Boom, a highly successful limited edition, which was produced as a special commission for the Manchester City Galleries exhibition 'The First Cut.'

We will be exhibiting A Bigger Bang and Blow during Frieze Week at Moniker Art Fair, Shoreditch. During the fair's Private View Justine will be joining us on our stand to turn money into art with her 'Value English' and 'Luxury English' embossed, signed and numbered editions.
