SHILOH KEANU SMITH

THE ARTIST

Shiloh Smith (b. Evanston, IL in 1998) is a contemporary painter, trained at the Savannah College of Art & Design and based in Chicago, Illinois. He is known for his portrayals of everyday life, both in Chicago and in Jamaica, where his family originated, and for the penetrating gazes of his subjects. Being the fourth of five children, Smith spent a lot of his time observing and learning from his family. Growing up, having a close family provided a strong influence for Smith's work. Being able to experience the life and growth of others near him, intrigues the artist.
