Kiki Smith is an artist from New York who works in many media. From printmaking, sculpture, and site-specific installation. Her interest in the human anatomy and its functions is central to her work. She has also explored the spiritual and religious aspects of life.
A self-proclaimed "ethnographic artist," Smith's early works incorporated abstract ideas into her figurative art. After completing her studies at Hartford Art School, Smith moved to New York City. Collaborative Projects, Inc. was her artist collective. This group was dedicated towards making art more accessible for the public. They used unconventional materials to create pieces that could be displayed in the home or office. The group's work was shown in New York and other cities.
Kiki Smith's latest works focus on the relationship between animals and humans. Her collection, Harmonies with Blackbirds, was shown at PACE Gallery in 2011, and was part of Pace Gallery's Ode to Summer show in 2013. Sueno, which is a two color intaglio of a figure holding a baby in a fetal pose, is one striking piece in the series. Because of its awkward posture it is difficult to distinguish whether the sitter has a male or female sitter. It was awarded acclaim at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005.
Kiki Smith's work is a constant but has seen significant changes over the years. She has explored themes such as mythology, religious imagery, and the relationship between humans, their animals, and their companions. Through these elements, Smith challenges her viewers to ponder the human body as both an idealized object and a real living organism.
Smith is a recipient of several awards, including the Nelson A. Rockefeller Award from Purchase College School of the Arts and a Medal Award from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Smith's work has been displayed in museums worldwide and she was included in Time Magazine's Time 100 (2006) as well as Time Magazine's Art in the Twenty-First Century ((2009)).
Smith was involved in performance art throughout her childhood. When she was a teenager, she participated in Keith Haring's "Times Square Show" and visited Jackson Pollock's studio. Similarly, she exhibited with Kara Walker in the Santa Fe group show in 1996.
Smith's focus has changed from figurative art to animal sculptures since the mid-1990s. She has created figures made from festive materials, such as black glitter, and a variety of other materials. Over the past few years, her works have also been inspired by fairy stories. These works have been referred to as "prosaic," meaning that they demand an honest examination of the vulnerability of the human body.
Rapture Smith, Smith’s sculpture exploring the relationships between humans and animals, is another Smith work. The sculpture is a sculptural representation of Venus on half-shell. The artwork is inspired by Raphael’s The Birth of Venus.
