Description

Emily Mae Smith’s Chekhov’s Gun (2017) is a vibrant colour screenprint that showcases the artist’s signature blend of allegory, pop-inflected symbolism, and sharp visual wit. Executed on Coventry Rag paper, the print highlights Smith’s meticulous approach to image-making, where crisp contours and saturated tones bring her enigmatic narratives to life.

Rooted in a tradition of symbolic imagery and feminist reinterpretation, Chekhov’s Gun plays on the famous dramatic principle while weaving in Smith’s recurring motifs—animated objects, surreal transformations, and visual puns. The refined screenprinting technique preserves the clarity and richness of her painterly language, making the work an excellent example of her graphic practice.

This edition is signed, dated, and numbered 73/75, published by Perrotin in New York. Produced in support of ACRIA, the work reflects Smith’s ongoing engagement with cultural and social causes as well as her rising presence in contemporary printmaking.
