R95 000 (incl. VAT)
Vivid and unflinching, Small Malay Girl is layered with striking red and blue surfaces that heighten the raw expressiveness of its form. The work continues Smit’s exploration of portraiture that bears the marks of process — here punctuated by deliberate holes across the surface. This edition was part of a travelling installation across the United States, including an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami, underscoring its international resonance.
