Studio Visit: Zak Smith

Zak Smith's paintings and drawings combine comic book realism, a Punk graphic sensibility, and the decorativeness and surface opulence of Gustav Klimt. In an early 2007 studio visit with Smith in Brooklyn ( he now lives in Los Angeles) he talks about his portraits of women, the importance of technique and medium, and his new series of drawings, based on his experience as a porn actor.
