Kiki Smith is a New York-based artist. She works in printmaking, sculpture and site-specific projects. Her interest in the human anatomy and its functions is central to her work. She has also explored religious and spiritual aspects of life.
Smith, a self-described "ethnographic artist", was known for her early works that incorporated abstract ideas into her figurative artwork. She graduated from Hartford Art School and moved to New York City as an artist in 1976. Collaborative Projects, Inc. was her artist collective. This group was dedicated making art more accessible to the general public. They created pieces that could be displayed in the house or office using unconventional materials. The group's work was shown in New York and other cities.
Kiki Smith’s most recent work explores the relationship between animal and human beings. Harmonies of Blackbirds from her collection was exhibited at Pace Gallery in 2011, and was part Pace Gallery’s Ode to Summer exhibit in 2013. Sueno, a two-color intaglio printing that depicts an adult figure in a fetal posture, is one of the most striking pieces from 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 remains a constant, but it has evolved significantly over the last few years. The themes she has explored include religious imagery, mythology, and the relationship between humans and their animal companions. Smith challenges her viewers through these elements to think about the human body as both an idealized and real living organism.
Smith has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Nelson A. Rockefeller Award of Purchase College School of the Arts and the Medal Award of 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).
Smith was active in performance art during her childhood. She was just a teenager when she took part in Keith Haring's Time Square Show and visited Jackson Pollocks studio. She also participated in the Santa Fe group display in 1996 alongside Kara Walker.
Smith has switched her focus from figurative arts to animal sculptures over the past 20 years. Smith has worked with festive materials, including black glitter and a variety others. Over the past few years, her works have also been inspired by fairy stories. These works were called "prosaic", which refers to the fact that they ask for an honest examination and assessment of the vulnerability within the human body.
Rapture Smith, Smith’s sculpture exploring the relationships between humans and animals, is another Smith work. It is a sculpture of Venus on a shell. The artwork refers to Raphael’s The Birth of Venus.

How To
How to style clothes
How do I style clothes? It's important to wear what you like. Fashion trends change daily. It is not a good idea to try to duplicate someone else's style. Instead learn from them and create your own style.
The most important thing when styling yourself is to keep things simple and easy. You want to look good so don't spend too much time trying to find the right fit. Don't worry about whether you have a shirt, pants (or jacket), skirt, or other garment. Instead, choose what suits you best. Put it all together to create one outfit. No matter how many pieces of clothing you have, it doesn't really matter how well they are coordinated. Mixing up patterns and colors is also a good idea as different outfits can be worn with different combinations.
Accessory can make any outfit complete. Accessories are often small, like scarves or hats, rings, necklaces and earrings, bracelets, bracelets, and even purses. These accessories can give your outfit some personality and help make it stand out. Think about which colors will complement and contrast with your clothes when shopping for accessories. If you have blue jeans and red shoes, you might consider a red scarf.
