| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Alix Smith’s conceptual based portraits explore how societal and psychological influences shape identity. The meaning in her work lies in the slippage between intention and reception. In examining the limitations of the photographic medium, Smith explores the process of identification and how people perceive their own identity. Like actors, these subjects act out their own characters. Each of her series focuses on a different aspect of identity. Smith believes the identity one chooses to present to the world is altered depending on one’s current desire or passion.
"A photographer of psychological depth as well as of class and status, Alix Smith’s portraits of friends and acquaintances enact a 21st century theater of manners featuring the urbane, well-heeled set. Part informal snapshots, part orchestrated tableaux, Smith’s stylized photographs are cast squarely in the directorial vein. Her limpid, elegant pictures portray well-rehearsed identities that sometimes bleed into cliches, the better to point up the truth behind shared stereotypes."
-Christian Viveros-Faune
