Kiki Smith — Spring Bird
Kiki Smith

Spring Bird

2019

A delicate and ethereal composition, Kiki Smith's *Spring Bird* (2019) combines monoprint, ink, watercolour, and pencil on paper to evoke the fragile beauty of the natural world. Smith's characteristic blending of organic forms and poetic sensibility is evident in the layered marks and washes of colour that bring the subject to life with both tenderness and spontaneity. The work reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of humanity's relationship with nature, rendered here with an intimate, handcrafted quality.
