Spike Smith: A Retrospective

Stunning, challenging and genre-defining work from the career of one of Britain's most prolific modern artists. Smith attended Goldsmiths University, where his classmates ran 'Freeze' (Surrey Docks, 1989). The exhibition, organised primarily by a young Damien Hirst, was the event that launched the careers of some of Britain's most recognisable modern artists. Spike Smith was not invited by Hirst to be in this exhibition. However, his work has still been exhibited in cafes near Tate Modern, White Cube and The Royal Academy. Forget everything you think you know about good art; this is Spike Smith.
