SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH
Sounds of Solidarity 916 presents…
The collage art of Winston Smith

SACRAMENTO! For the first time ever, legendary collage artist Winston Smith brings his iconic work to town—alongside stunning photography by Matthew Kadi @matthewkadi.
One night only. All art sold straight off the walls.

This show dives headfirst into the chaos of the now: bold new works + rare gems from Winston’s archive.

Some scream truth. Some whisper absurdity. All are unmistakably Winston.
Step inside a visual trip from the Renaissance to Dada—where the absurd, the unjust, and the beautifully surreal collide.

About Winston Smith: Smith has been creating bold, politically charged collage art since the 1970s. By reworking cheerful imagery from mid 20th-century magazine ads, he exposes the contradictions of modern society with sharp wit and biting commentary. Best known for his work with Dead Kennedys, Smith designed the iconic “DK” emblem—now a global symbol of resistance to authoritarianism. His artwork has appeared on over 50 album covers, including for Green Day, Burning Brides, D.O.A, Ben Harper, Jello Biafra and George Carlin. His illustrations have also been featured in The New Yorker, Playboy, Spin, and more.
