Timothy Taylor Gallery
Kiki Smith : Behold
Today I went to visit Timothy Taylor Gallery which is one of the listed exhibitions for our essay writing, this is my first time to watch Kiki Smith's art work, and my feeling is like jumping into a world of narrative and fantasy. Her works first impression to me is fancy and storytelling, i like it. Afterwards, I read the introduction, known that smith has ' used the body as metaphor, drawing upon myth, spirituality and narrative to consider human condition, its strenfths and its frailties' since 1980s. Her works has been concerned with the interdependence of the natural world; her exhibitions and installations express the vitality of an animistic, spiritually charged universe.
In this exhibition, it have a major theme emerges from the number of works that closely interrelate with or echo each other.
After visiting the gallery, it raise my interest in Kiki smith's work, so I borrow few books about her from the school library, I found that her early works is really different style while comparing to the one i watched today, her past work is more about birth and regeneration. In general, I like her recent fairy-tale more.
