The artist's work combines cultural and philosophical commentary with a fascination for pop music, rock operas and comic books. Writing in The New York Times, Roberta Smith called Smit’s work: “A tour de force that showcases his considerable talents for satire, stand-up, endurance art and painting.” He has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, The Hirshhorn Museum of Art, the Pompidou Center as well as others. In February of 2022, The New Yorker began printing the artist's cartoons.
