Off The Record is a series of vinyl art. It combines Smith’s love for album covers, graphic design and fine art. The series was inspired by Beck’s 2015 Grammy award for best album.
Album covers depicted in Smith’s art range from pop and rock, over grunge and punk to jazz and all-time classics. The roster of artists includes The Beatles, Radio Head, Ryan Adams, Boston, Simon & Garfunkel, Jack White, John Coltrane, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Norah Jones, Bruce Springsteen and Queen among others.
This will be Kerry Smith’s first Solo Exhibition in Kansas City. His work can be found in private and public collection as well as museums around the country and his latest Off the Records series has drawn nationwide attention. Smith is especially proud to have work installed at the Wilco Loft in Chicago, IL.
