Earlier this week we stopped by Mexican Graffiti Artist Smithe's studio where he is currently working on his second solo show. "Fisuras de la materia" (Fissures of Matter) will feature 12 paintings and one sculpture. Each of the works will be accompanied by an original song composed by Smithe.

This body of work is a graphical representation of different psychotic disorders in which the patient suffers a break and lose the sense of reality. The inner and outer world are diluted, forming a distorted or even a totally alien to us. Delusions in which the space is doubled (Reduplicative paramnesia), the faces become unrecognizable (Prosopagnosia), or believed to rotten body (Cotard delusion) experienced. These disorders make visible the small openings within the mind leading to planes that would otherwise remain dormant; cracks that can materialize the unknown in order to explore it. - Emilio Ocampo
