Nicola Hicks Biography

Hicks was recognized as a worthy candidate for Elisabeth Frink, who selected her for an exhibition of her own at the Angela Flowers Gallery in 1985.

Hicks has achieved success as an artist, creating public sculptures such as Beetle in Bristol and the second iteration of the Brown Dog Memorial in Battersea Park. She has had major solo shows in leading museums and galleries in Britain and around the world, and was made an MBE in thee 1995 New Year Honours for her contribution to the visual arts. Hicks recently exhibited Black, 2008 in ‘Exhibitionism’ at the East Wing, Courtauld Institute of Art at Somerset House.

“The only thing precocious about that one-day show was the artist’s age: she was only 24. But the work had a maturity of concept and sureness of execution that defied precocity. The life-sized dying bull of straw and hessian, in particular, was a terrifying work, whose physical frailty contrasted with its colossal psychic presence. The Gallery quickly invited Hicks to join its permanent family of artists, and her first one-person show followed in 1985. Such discovery of new talent for the Gallery was a welcome by product of the annual Artist of the Day fortnight. Hicks was by no means unrecognised, though. She was still a student at the Royal College of Art (having got her degree at Chelsea), but had already featured in mixed exhibitions at locales ranging from Christies to Liverpool via Ruskin College. In 1985, however, her career blossomed. In addition to the Flowers show, her work was exhibited in Kettle’s Yard, the Hayward Annual, New York, Serpentine, etc.”
