Kiki Smith is a New York artist who works in a variety of media, from printmaking to sculpture to site-specific installations. Her work is informed by a fascination for the human body, and all its essential functions. She is also interested in the spiritual and religious aspects.
Smith is a self-proclaimed "ethnographic artifact" and her early works integrated abstract ideas into her representations of figurative art. After graduating from Hartford Art School in 1974, Smith moved to New York City. She was part of Collaborative Projects, Inc., an artist's collective in the late 1970s. This group was dedicated in making art more easily accessible to the public. They used unusual materials to create pieces which could be displayed in the home and office. The group was represented in New York as well as other cities.
Kiki Smith has been exploring the relationship between humans, animals, and their most recent works. 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 is a striking two-color intaglio image that depicts a life-sized figure in a fetal position. It is one of the most distinctive pieces in the series. The awkward pose makes it difficult to identify whether the sitter was male or female. It was awarded acclaim at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005.
Kiki Smith has been working steadily for many years, but her work has undergone significant change in recent years. She has explored religious imagery, mythology, as well as the relationship between humans with their animal companions. Smith challenges her viewers to see the human body not only as an idealized, but also as a living organism.
Smith has been awarded the Nelson A. Rockefeller Award by Purchase College School of the Arts as well as a Medal Award at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Her works are displayed in museums all around the globe. She has also been included in Time Magazine’s "Time 100” (2006) and "Art in the Twenty-First Century” (2009).
During her early years, Smith was involved with performance art. When she was a teenager Smith took part in Keith Haring’s ‘Times Square Show” and visited Jackson Pollock’s Studio. She also participated in the Santa Fe group display in 1996 alongside Kara Walker.
Smith has moved her focus away from figurative work to animal sculptures in the middle of the 1990s. Smith has made figures from various festive materials such as black glitter and other materials. Over the years, she's also been creating works based upon fairy tales. These works are called "prosaic" because they require an honest examination of vulnerability in the human body.
Rapture Smith is Smith's other work that examines the relationship between humans and animals. It is a sculpture of Venus on a shell. The artwork is inspired by Raphael’s The Birth of Venus.
