WHO: Alexandria Smith, a Bronx-born artist who works in both drawings and paintings, picking apart norms associated with sexual and cultural identities through the lens of naive adolescence.

WHY: It’s hard not to be captivated by Alexandria Smith’s surreal characters, which seem to channel parts of Philip Guston and little bits of Kara Walker. We can’t wait to see what the artist has in store for 2013.
