FolkArtwork is Naked: “Woman with Man in Coffin” by Kiki Smith

There’s a lot of great art that I would love to share on Instagram, but because the moderators aren’t as mature as my high school art history class, I can’t share the work on Instagram. Because, the naked body.

So every Saturday night on FolkArtwork.art, we’re getting naked. Not a weird kind of naked, or an inappropriate kind of naked, and not to objectify women or men for that matter. But to continue to share the world’s best outsider artwork, without some stupid app being offended.

KIKI SMITH Untitled (Woman with Man in Coffin) (2010) // Drawing; 191.5 cm x 289.5 cm

Drawing The set is composed of 16 sheets glued together. The drawings are composed for some, directly on these 16 sheets in ink or lithographic pencil. Collages of drawn elements are added on certain areas (eg: heel of the left foot of the standing character, right arm of the dead man …) Ink, lithographic pencil and collage on Nepalese paper joined together
