Josh Smith's Eighth Zurich Solo Show at Galerie Eva Presenhuber Features Grim Reaper Series and Dieter Roth Works

Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Zurich is hosting Josh Smith's eighth solo exhibition, presenting his recent series Destiny (2025) alongside paintings from 2024, monotypes, oil-on-paper works, and jewelry. Smith, born in 1976, has been a defining painter of his generation for over two decades, known for seriality, repetition, and a sustained exploration of painting's possibilities. The Destiny series centers on the Grim Reaper, merging historical pictorial traditions with a contemporary visual language. The exhibition also includes a focused selection of works by Dieter Roth, an artist whose approach has long served as a key reference for Smith. This dual presentation highlights Smith's engagement with mortality and his dialogue with Roth's legacy.
