Palm trees are a classical motif, much like the shape of an amphora. I liked the idea of using palm trees because they allude in a way to the beauty of water, and I wanted to choose an image that would respect the form.

Collect a hand-painted ceramic amphora by Josh Smith, launched in support of charity: water.
Motifs quickly become obsessions for Josh Smith. Palm trees painted in silhouette are a focal point of his psychedelic beachscapes. He considers the trees a classical motif, tied closely with water, making his 2019 painting Palms #1 the perfect reference for the ancient form and practical function of an amphora.
The artwork belongs to a series of seven, conceived and crafted in a transatlantic collaboration between Artspace and Avant Arte. Proceeds will support charity: water in their endeavour to end the global water crisis.
