Winston Smith

Web­site for artist Win­ston Smith.

Punk Art Sur­re­al­ist Win­ston Smith first became famous for pro­duc­ing art for punk leg­ends Dead Kennedys, and is known by wider audi­ences for his cov­ers for Green Day and pub­li­ca­tions such as The New York­er, Play­boy, and Spin. Win­ston has designed over 50 record cov­ers and most recent­ly col­lab­o­rated with blues-rock record­ing artist Ben Harp­er for Harper’s album “White Lies for Dark Times” with band Relent­less 7 (Vir­gin).

What always struck me about Winston’s work is his abil­ity to make a pro­found com­ment pure­ly by reshuf­fling found images in a way that is both humor­ous and point­ed. Winston’s recent work is more beau­ti­ful than ever mak­ing his visu­al puns that are harsh indict­ments of the Amer­i­can Dream as an ide­al even more jarring.
