Ming Smith @ Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

The exhibition, Painting with Light, explores the painterly quality of Ming Smith’s photographic work. It contains works from the start of the 1970s to the present day, including a number of never before seen archival prints.  Photographs were taken in the New York neighbourhoods of Coney Island and Harlem, to the cities of Abidjan, Ivory Coast and Gambela, Ethiopia.  The exhibition reflects the diversity of Smith’s personal experience, the openness of her perspective and her embrace of subjectivity as a fundamental conceptual choice.
