ARTIST

A graduate of the School of Fine Arts in 1953, Philippe HIQUILY quickly broke away from academic sculpture to develop his technique of "direct metal" inspired by Julio González. He thus explored for more than half a century the work of metal (iron, brass, bronze, steel) in all its forms. From "couplings" of sculpted figures and everyday objects to anthropomorphic pieces of furniture, he develops a unique sculptural language around his favorite themes of women, balance and movement. Like Alexander Calder, whom he admired, Philippe HIQUILY is also famous for his monumental sculptures which have shaped French and international public space since the 1960s, such as his Weathervanes designed for a 12m high project in Marbella (Spain ) and Shanghai (China) or its mythical 6-meter marathon runner installed in 1981 in Vitry sur Seine.
