Peter Smith (1959-2009) was a largely self-taught, Toronto-based artist whose work describes the confrontation of mental illness with the everday world. Equal parts oil painting, sculpture and assemblage, Smith's compulsive, layered work teems with ideas and experiences and offers a breathtaking distillation of the urban experience.The monograph's modest presentation belies a rich interior with fold-out color plates, copies of the artist's emails, a statement from the artist's wife, and two essays that explore the complex world view of an artist who lived on the outside.
