Open
2019
"Open" (2019) by Kiki Smith is a richly layered work combining monoprint, ink, watercolour, and pencil on paper, reflecting the artist's deep engagement with the natural world and the human body. The interplay of fluid watercolour washes with the directness of ink and the delicacy of pencil marks creates a sense of organic vulnerability and quiet revelation. True to Smith's practice, the work invites contemplation of transformation, fragility, and the permeable boundaries between the interior and exterior self.
