Biography
[edit]After studying at the School of Graphic Arts (FASE) under Roland Topor from 1974 to 1978, she gave her first solo exhibition in 1979 at the Jean Briance Gallery, with pastel and oil paintings.[1][2] By the early 1980s, she participated in international events such as the Basel Fair (Foire de Bâle), Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain and Art Paris. In 1988 she presented her work in Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain and the United States, where her work was presented by Amaury Taittinger in New York City.[1][2]
In 1991, Arickx settled in the Landes, where she has worked on larger projects in monumental sculpture. Since 1993, she made a series of monumental frescoes for different sites in France. In 1998, she established the Alex Bianchi les Rencontres du Cadran, which hosted 80 international and emerging artists over five consecutive years. In 1999, for the 800th anniversary of the jurade Saint Emilion, Arickx presented a double solo exhibition on the theme of crucifixion. More recently she has experimented with a range of materials in her art work, including concrete, emery cloth, wood, fabrics, resins and fibers and bitumen.[1]
Arickx's work can be found in major national public collections such as the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Palais de Tokyo, FNAC, in the public space of Hôpital Paul-Brousse in Villejuif, the central hospital of Créteil (center hospitalier intercommunal Créteil) and others.[1]
