Juan Kiti - Lady Kiti

This striking and expressive sculpture titled “Lady Kiti” is characteristic of the idiosyncratic oeuvre of Brussels artist Juan Kiti (b. 1956). As a self-taught artist, Kiti has distinguished himself for decades through a completely unique visual language in which humor, sensuality, and alienation go hand in hand. The artwork depicts a stylized, voluminous female figure with powerful proportions, executed in a deep, high-gloss black lacquer finish that reflects light in a dynamic manner. Central to the piece are the characteristic, distinctly organic forms—from the expressive lips and voluptuous breasts to the stylized, crossed legs—which lend the image a powerful and proud dynamism. The whole rests on a solid black pedestal. A beautiful, contemporary showpiece for lovers of modern Brussels art and idiosyncratic sculptural objects.
