Gold. Running through July 17, the show features a new suite of airbrush paintings, centered on a single subject: Dorothy<span>\u2019<\/span>s house falling through the sky from <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<p><!-- Tag ID: HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250\" data-adunit=\"HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;art&quot;,&quot;exhibitions&quot;,&quot;lucien-smith&quot;,&quot;london&quot;,&quot;kearsey-gold&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:6735338,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Grainy, miniature canvases thread through the London gallery, each a varied shot of the airborne house; no rainbow, ruby slippers, or even the imminent crash. Smith uses the image as a metaphor for uncertainty and the loss of control \u2014 when, not the rug, but the house in its entirety is pulled from under your feet. \u201cEverything you<span>\u2019<\/span>ve built, thrown up in the air,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI want to know what<span>\u2019<\/span>s on the other side of that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, Smith has spoken openly about rediscovering and honing his artistry after the rise (and fall) of becoming an overnight success. He fled to Montauk to start anew, and created Serving the People, his artist-focused non-profit, along the way. He<span>\u2019<\/span>s since returned to New York to head his restaurant FOOD, also adorned with airbrush works. <em>Burn Down the House<\/em> marks Smith<span>\u2019<\/span>s first show since opening the spot last fall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZA3MczJqQF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Lucien Smith (@feareatsthesoil)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For his ongoing London exhibition, Smith cites a list of inspirations \u2014 Martha Rosler, Cady Noland, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer\u2019s \u201cProtect Me From What I Want,\u201d and \u201cOnce in a Lifetime\u201d by Talking Heads \u2014 all of which play on the gap between desire and fulfillment and the uneasy aftermath after achieving the American Dream.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I am not telling you to burn it down, I am asking you if you could,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cI am asking you to think about what we are actually building when we say we are building a life, and what it all might mean, in the half-second before the house comes crashing down.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Burning Down the House<\/em> is now on view in London.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kearsey &amp;

Kearsey &amp; Gold. Running through July 17, the show features a new suite of airbrush paintings, centered on a single subject: Dorothy<span>\u2019<\/span>s house falling through the sky from <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<p><!-- Tag ID: HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250\" data-adunit=\"HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;art&quot;,&quot;exhibitions&quot;,&quot;lucien-smith&quot;,&quot;london&quot;,&quot;kearsey-gold&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:6735338,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Grainy, miniature canvases thread through the London gallery, each a varied shot of the airborne house; no rainbow, ruby slippers, or even the imminent crash. Smith uses the image as a metaphor for uncertainty and the loss of control \u2014 when, not the rug, but the house in its entirety is pulled from under your feet. \u201cEverything you<span>\u2019<\/span>ve built, thrown up in the air,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI want to know what<span>\u2019<\/span>s on the other side of that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, Smith has spoken openly about rediscovering and honing his artistry after the rise (and fall) of becoming an overnight success. He fled to Montauk to start anew, and created Serving the People, his artist-focused non-profit, along the way. He<span>\u2019<\/span>s since returned to New York to head his restaurant FOOD, also adorned with airbrush works. <em>Burn Down the House<\/em> marks Smith<span>\u2019<\/span>s first show since opening the spot last fall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZA3MczJqQF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Lucien Smith (@feareatsthesoil)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For his ongoing London exhibition, Smith cites a list of inspirations \u2014 Martha Rosler, Cady Noland, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer\u2019s \u201cProtect Me From What I Want,\u201d and \u201cOnce in a Lifetime\u201d by Talking Heads \u2014 all of which play on the gap between desire and fulfillment and the uneasy aftermath after achieving the American Dream.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I am not telling you to burn it down, I am asking you if you could,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cI am asking you to think about what we are actually building when we say we are building a life, and what it all might mean, in the half-second before the house comes crashing down.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Burning Down the House<\/em> is now on view in London.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kearsey &amp;

Gold. Running through July 17, the show features a new suite of airbrush paintings, centered on a single subject: Dorothy<span>\u2019<\/span>s house falling through the sky from <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<p><!-- Tag ID: HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250\" data-adunit=\"HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;art&quot;,&quot;exhibitions&quot;,&quot;lucien-smith&quot;,&quot;london&quot;,&quot;kearsey-gold&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:6735338,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Grainy, miniature canvases thread through the London gallery, each a varied shot of the airborne house; no rainbow, ruby slippers, or even the imminent crash. Smith uses the image as a metaphor for uncertainty and the loss of control \u2014 when, not the rug, but the house in its entirety is pulled from under your feet. \u201cEverything you<span>\u2019<\/span>ve built, thrown up in the air,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI want to know what<span>\u2019<\/span>s on the other side of that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, Smith has spoken openly about rediscovering and honing his artistry after the rise (and fall) of becoming an overnight success. He fled to Montauk to start anew, and created Serving the People, his artist-focused non-profit, along the way. He<span>\u2019<\/span>s since returned to New York to head his restaurant FOOD, also adorned with airbrush works. <em>Burn Down the House<\/em> marks Smith<span>\u2019<\/span>s first show since opening the spot last fall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZA3MczJqQF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Lucien Smith (@feareatsthesoil)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For his ongoing London exhibition, Smith cites a list of inspirations \u2014 Martha Rosler, Cady Noland, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer\u2019s \u201cProtect Me From What I Want,\u201d and \u201cOnce in a Lifetime\u201d by Talking Heads \u2014 all of which play on the gap between desire and fulfillment and the uneasy aftermath after achieving the American Dream.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I am not telling you to burn it down, I am asking you if you could,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cI am asking you to think about what we are actually building when we say we are building a life, and what it all might mean, in the half-second before the house comes crashing down.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Burning Down the House<\/em> is now on view in London.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kearsey &amp;

Running through July 17, the show features a new suite of airbrush paintings, centered on a single subject: Dorothy<span>\u2019<\/span>s house falling through the sky from <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<p><!-- Tag ID: HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250\" data-adunit=\"HBENGLOB_ATF_INCONTENT\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;art&quot;,&quot;exhibitions&quot;,&quot;lucien-smith&quot;,&quot;london&quot;,&quot;kearsey-gold&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:6735338,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Grainy, miniature canvases thread through the London gallery, each a varied shot of the airborne house; no rainbow, ruby slippers, or even the imminent crash. Smith uses the image as a metaphor for uncertainty and the loss of control \u2014 when, not the rug, but the house in its entirety is pulled from under your feet. \u201cEverything you<span>\u2019<\/span>ve built, thrown up in the air,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI want to know what<span>\u2019<\/span>s on the other side of that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, Smith has spoken openly about rediscovering and honing his artistry after the rise (and fall) of becoming an overnight success. He fled to Montauk to start anew, and created Serving the People, his artist-focused non-profit, along the way. He<span>\u2019<\/span>s since returned to New York to head his restaurant FOOD, also adorned with airbrush works. <em>Burn Down the House<\/em> marks Smith<span>\u2019<\/span>s first show since opening the spot last fall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media bypass\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZA3MczJqQF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Lucien Smith (@feareatsthesoil)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For his ongoing London exhibition, Smith cites a list of inspirations \u2014 Martha Rosler, Cady Noland, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer\u2019s \u201cProtect Me From What I Want,\u201d and \u201cOnce in a Lifetime\u201d by Talking Heads \u2014 all of which play on the gap between desire and fulfillment and the uneasy aftermath after achieving the American Dream.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I am not telling you to burn it down, I am asking you if you could,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cI am asking you to think about what we are actually building when we say we are building a life, and what it all might mean, in the half-second before the house comes crashing down.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Burning Down the House<\/em> is now on view in London.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kearsey &amp; Gold<\/strong><br \/>\n76 Brewer St,<br \/>\nLondon W1F 9TX,<br \/>\nUnited Kingdom<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p>        <span class=\"author-name\">Erin Ikeuchi<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    Lucien SmithLondonExhibitionsKearsey &amp; Gold\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/6\/lucien-smith-burn-down-the-house-painting-kearsey-gold-london&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F06%2F10%2Flucien-smith-burn-down-the-house-painting-kearsey-gold-london-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Art Jun 10, 2026 510 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Erin Ikeuchi Share this article 1 of 5 Courtesy Of The Artist And Kearsey &amp; Gold 2 of 5 Courtesy Of The Artist And Kearsey &amp; Gold 3 of 5 Courtesy Of The Artist And Kearsey &amp; Gold 4 of 5 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1990571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1990571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990571\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1990571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1990571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1990571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
