"The red-hot, figurative paintings of Roxa Smith…Smith, a native of Venezuela, often poses in costume or “role plays” for her paintings, which explore questions of gender and identity; they tend to have red or orange backgrounds that seem practically incandescent. Overwhelming and superficial-looking on first glance, they grow on you because of that internal fire."
-Karin Lipson, Newsday
