Bennett Smith (b. 1996, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) is a Swiss/US-American artist who lives and works in Lucerne. His visual based work deals with personal reflections and relations. In his works he navigates personal growth and development, which are accelerated by his ever-changing social environment. By combining archival with his own material, often referencing pop-culture, he finds narratives that suit his self-reflexive work.
