A student of Josef Albers at Yale, Sheila Hicks is heir both to the modernist spirit and to textile practices inspired by pre-Columbian America.
Sheila Hicks chose textiles because they are among the materials we encounter constantly throughout our lives. They also allow her works to remain alive, taking on different forms with each installation. Her practice brings together the characteristic forms of modernism and non-Western traditions, combining a vibrant use of color with a desire to keep her works open to reinterpretation and renewal every time they are exhibited.
Sheila Hicks was born in Hastings, USA, in 1934. She has lived and worked in Paris since the mid-1960s.
Works by Sheila Hicks are presented alongside those of Cécile Bart, Karina Bisch, Audrey Guttman, Josselin Vidalenc, Raphaël Zarka and Sonia Delaunay in Salon Sonia, curated by Caroline Smulders and Yves Zlotowski.
Last week to visit Salon Sonia before our summer closure on the evening of July 27!
