Kiki Smith’s Sky: a layer cake of art history, myth, identity and nature

Kiki Smith's huge and new era tapestry is a typical personal aspect of art history, myths, femininity, and nature. The division between the underground world, the earth and the heavens is reminiscent of the cosmology of Celtic people, indigenous peoples and Central Americans. The floating nude may be an elf, a soul or a goddess

In recent years, Smith left. In the 1980 's, her feminist sculpture explored the body and bones, beat down her Catholicism and responded to the AIDS crisis. Today, her work is full of animals and stars, is more genius and has changed her hobby

The Hollywood and medieval times of the 1920s have led to Smith's love and spectacular sight. Like a movie star, a tapestry that once covered the wall shows off there - the sky light quotes the shining light of RKO Pictures.

But this is a tapestry of the 21st century. According to the collage Smith made over the years, her tapestries were made with a computerized Jacquard loom.

Kiki Smith was born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1954. Kiki Smith, a daughter of American sculptor Tony Smith, grew up in New Jersey. As a young girl, Smith 's first artistic experience was to help her father make cardboard models of his geometric sculptures. Coupled with her growing experience at the Catholic Church, this formal training system later appeared again in Smith's exciting sculpture, paintings and printmaking. The theme that appears repeatedly in Smith's work is the body as a container of knowledge, belief, and storytelling.

When the concept and minimalist art peaked, Kikisumis did not apologize for work related to physical existence, nature and emotional sensibility, subjective knowledge. As determined against heavy industrial materials such as Donald Judd, Richard Serra, or a sculptor such as her father Tony Smith, Smith uses short-lived materials such as paper, wax, glass and pottery. Her sculpture is normally physically sneaky, using waste that seems to occupy a strange middle ground between life and death. "

Since the 1980's, Kiki Smith (USA, Nuremberg, Germany, 1954) is known for interdisciplinary practices related to human condition and nature. She uses a variety of materials to continuously develop and develop various works including sculpture, printmaking, photography, paintings and textiles. Smith was the subject of many solo exhibitions around the world including exhibitions of more than 25 art museums. Her work is exhibited at five Venice Biennale including the 2017 edition. She is a member of American Academy of Literature and Academy of American Academy of Arts and Sciences and received the Royal Academy Award from the Royal University of the Arts in London in 2017. Smith was previously elected by Time magazine in 2006 as one of "Times 100: People who shape our world".
