A free exhibition at the Hayward Gallery<\/a> at the Southbank Centre<\/a> has opened up late February to show the latest work of artist Sheila Hicks<\/a>. The exhibition is Sheila’s very first solo show in the UK.<\/p>\n

She is renowned for blurring boundaries between textile tradition, art and design and architecture and became within the past five decades the most influencial artist in contemporary art who works with supple materials.<\/p>\n

The exhibition also features a selection of Hicks’ fibre-based calligraphic drawings and visitors can also interact with recent large scale-works.<\/p>\n

With this exhibiton going on until April 19th, we thought of more artists who used fabrics and supptle material to create art such as Nick Cave.<\/a>\u00a0 Cave is working between the visual and performing arts through a rwide range of mediums including installation, sculptures and perfomances. In his book\u00a0‘Meet me at the Center of the Earth’ he shows us works of sculptures that have a bizarre quality. They are living sculptures used in movement and dance made out of differrent fabrics.<\/span><\/p>\n
