Kiki Smith

Kiki Smith, an American artist born in Germany in 1954, has developed a multidisciplinary practice since the 1980s, mixing sculptures, prints, photographs, drawings, books, tapestries and various objects. One of the characteristics of her works is experimentation through diversity and the rejection of any form of hierarchy. A central subject remains the human body, often feminine - its anatomy, its imprint, its relationship to the living. Sometimes altered or fragmented, it also appears to be peaceful, unifying and a meeting point of energies.
