The latest work of the American artist Kiki Smith (b 1954) has received wide acclaim. Having concentrated on the human body, Smith now focuses on creatures that take part in our existence. The inspiration for this new work was a mysterious dream the artist had, and she brings to her art a clarity of purpose that deliberately contrasts natural beauty with our uneasy relationship to it. Looking at her new work is akin to walking through a fairy tale full of beauty, gracefulness, and yet also one of fear. She finds sources in past cultures and in mythology, and re-discovers old forms and materials - working them again into a contemporary context. Smith works with drawings, sculpture, photography, video, paper, ceramics and glass. We encounter pictures and conceptions from Christian iconography, and from Egyptian, Celtic or Indian mythology. This work is published on the occasion of Kiki Smith's exhibition at the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover, Germany.
