The Bathers at Asnières is a striking reinterpretation of Georges Seurat’s iconic masterpiece, blending classical artistry with contemporary digital aesthetics. Using his signature “color swatch” collage technique, Smith deconstructs Seurat’s serene riverside scene into a pixelated mosaic of color and text. Each individual swatch contributes to the overall composition while also carrying a linguistic or conceptual reference, adding layers of meaning to the visual experience.

This unique approach invites viewers to engage with the painting on multiple levels—appreciating both the harmonious color arrangement and the interplay between image, language, and cultural context. By transforming Seurat’s Impressionist classic through a modern lens, Smith challenges our perception of visual art, nostalgia, and the evolving nature of artistic reproduction.

A testament to the artist’s ability to bridge past and present, The Bathers at Asnières is a must-have for collectors who appreciate both traditional art and contemporary conceptual reinterpretation.
