Winston Smith's dense, darkly playful collages are Boschian panoramas of our consumer society. Smith wasn't the first punk to pick up a razor blade and follow in the footsteps of John Heartfield and Richard Hamilton, but his caustic wit and eye for visual provocation made him the go-to man for many a Dead Kennedys album cover — including 1981's controversial In God We Trust, Inc., which featured Jesus nailed to a cross of folded dollar bills. As this career-long survey proves, Smith's art is still the fly in the proverbial ointment.
