About this artwork
This minimalist oil painting is interwoven with a charcoal grid. The artist made the charcoal from Playboy magazines and Trump's "Art of the Deal" book. The grid composition creates the feel of hidden documents any layers of mystery. The minimalist approach takes a Kafkaesque political situation and imbues it with calmness inspired by artists such as Agnes Martin of Josef Albers. To play on the concept of blackmail and Kompromat, there are also trace…
amounts of human pee (rumors of Golden Showers, Trump, and the Ritz Carleton Moscow) mixed with the acrylic medium painted over the charcoal lines. This acrylic medium has no color or texture. It is a tool for making the charcoal adhere to the oil primed linen.

« I am a thief. I steal from the world around me. Each walk down the street presents forms and colors that ask to be played with- the shadow of a bike, the corner of an awning, the lines bridging telephone poles...even the tiny sliver of light passing beneath a mailbox. All of these things are game for me. »
Sally K. Smith is an experienced painter from the United States whose works have been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Her background in music as a concert pianist influences how she approaches her artistic practice; she sees her work as a passage of time, not unlike listening to a Bach prelude. Working in oil paints and charcoal, Smith creates abstract and imaginary landscapes inspired by the world around her, committing to either bright color palettes or stark minimalism.
