First shown in plaster as part of the gallery's exhibition, Fire and Brimstone, in London in 1991, Tricky Business highlights British artist Nicola Hicks' (b. 1960) mastery in creating dynamic depictions of animals in bronze.
Commenting on the exhibition at the time, critic Elisabeth Anson stated that Hicks is brutally honest in [her] approach to nature and…make[s] ingenious use of materials…matter does not serve as a cosmetic device for effect, but provides the actual stuff of animal form, imbuing it with both more life than a model likeness and with absolute autonomy.
Selected solo exhibitions include Sorry, Sorry Sarajevo, St Paul's Cathedral, London, 2013; Sculpture by Nicola Hicks, the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, United States, 2013; and her work was included in The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things, curated by Mark Leckey, as part of the Hayward Touring series at venues across the UK, 2013.
