I love her concepts in her work. :)

I like her use of death. You hear so often about people generating positive experiences, from negative ones - and that forces them to live a little more. Looking at all these dead things, makes you realise in relation to them, you're still alive. Go out - and do something fun.

[Stellaspike]

I don't think death is necessarily negative. Sure, no one wants to die but, everyone does, wouldn't it be better to decide your relationship with death before it decides for you? I think the very nature of avoiding the contemplation of mortality creates a blank in what could be a way to deliberate on your death experience.

Course, this is all coming from someone who paints dead animals

Idk why some are suggesting she should tap into her positive forces? Positive art is so redundant. Her work is oddly scary, gives you chills, body positions in odd composure. she's showing you what alot do not want to see but we still look. a bad car accident on the side of the street, we do not want to look bc we know its something bad/scary/grumble but we do anyway. Her art work is deeper than just scary or negative. Theres more connotation-not all art is made for your walls. i love her work.

[ForstaSvenskenIRymdn]

@BRIisFINEart Can you define positive art? And what makes it redundant? Isnt looking at something we "dont" want to look at redundant?

[sclapione]

@BRIisFINEart " Positive art is so redundant. " Absolute Bullshit.

[tifguevara]

in my opinion, kiki is not really a medium of the dark forces. her work addresses themes such as death, but i suppose this is her way of expressing and addressing life as it occurs to her. she is a medium, yes, but not of darkness or negativity. she is a medium in which art comes through as a language that enables viewers to see a different aspect of life/death: uncensored, raw and profound.

[shitcharles]

Only one of the few widely respected artists out there who works in printmaking, too.
