Art on a Postcard International Women’s Day Auction - Curated by AOAP

About 

Paper has always been a primary material in the work of Justine Smith. Her current work is concerned with the concept of money and how it touches almost every aspect of our lives. She is interested in money as a conduit of power and also in the value systems with which we surround it. On a physical level a banknote is just a piece of paper, but it is what a banknote actually represents that is central to Smith’s work. Through her collages, prints and sculptures she examines our relationship with money in a political, moral and social sense, whilst also exploiting the physical beauty of the notes. 

She has exhibited her work in galleries and museums internationally. Recent commissions include two works to celebrate the 95th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen for the Royal Mint. Notable collections include The British Museum, The Fitzwilliam Museum,The British Council, The British Library, The Bank of England, The Royal Mint Museum and the UK Government Art Collection along with many international corporations, financial institutions and private collections. She lives and works in London.
