About Walking Pig

The artwork titled “Walking Pig,” created by artist Kiki Smith in 2004, is a significant piece within the Feminist Art movement. This sculpture presents a figure riding a pig, executed in a style that suggests a blend of whimsical and profound elements.

The artwork depicts the silhouette of a woman perched on the back of a pig. Both the woman and the pig are represented in a simplified, almost flattened form, which emphasizes their profiles. The figure of the woman appears to be holding reins, guiding the pig. The sculpture’s surface bears a textured patina, adding to the visual depth and historical resonance of the piece. The composition evokes a sense of motion and narrative, reflecting themes central to Feminist Art, such as the intersection of the human and animal, and the exploration of identity and power dynamics.
