Nicola Hicks

 “Sometimes I’m a tree, sometimes I’m a cat, sometimes I’m a Minotaur, sometimes I’m a broken sculpture” 

Nicola Hicks is a contemporary English artist known for her loosely rendered sculptures of animals, humans, and mythical creatures. Crafted from straw and plaster and often cast in bronze, Hicks depicts bears, kangaroos, horses, goats, and other creatures. Relying on a strong drawing practice to inform her three-dimensional work, her sculptures are attuned to the physicality and anatomy of living things.
