JOHN KIKI is an English figurative painter who trained in the sixties at Camberwell Art School and at the Royal Academy Schools.
This book focuses on one of Kiki’s abiding obsessions, reflected in more than sixty paintings he has made throughout fifty years of creativity, all with a singular figure at their core, the infanta motif that derives originally from the image of a young girl at the centre of one of the most discussed paintings in Western Art history.
