Justin Edward John Smith is an English-born artist who has a lineage in fashion photography and the performing arts. Smith's artwork celebrates sensuality and the beautiful at a moment in history when passion and emotion are the stuff of everyday living. Observed as a series of magazines and composed always in two parts, Man Women Girl Boy explored the complexities and nuances of the individual.
Presented collectively in 128pp, the magazine is a contemporary theatrical interlude that explores youth, beauty, innocence and brutality. Created in the first person by Smith with 3 Deep, the publication is for a discerning audience who appreciate the emotional and intuitive.
The reading of a magazine, the holding of a title in one’s hands creates a certain intimacy; there is a tactility in the turning of the pages, a romance and a sense of longing usually associated with notions of permanence and the longevity of the printed page.
