Frieze London’s Best Booths, From Statement Sculptures to Symbolic Gardens

The multicultural focus of this year's Frieze London is arguably best synthesized in Timothy Taylor's solo presentation of new works by Paul Anthony Smith. Smith is a Jamaica-born, New York-based artist whose contemporary landscape paintings don't give away any sense of gender or identity. They are, however, narratively and visually rich once you start to pay attention. From a distance the work appear like flat, vistas of overgrown flowers and weeds at any overrun public garden in New York City. They are colorful, even beautiful, with an untamed quality inherent to neglected public spaces.
