Biography
A metal sculptor since the 1950s, Philippe Hiquily is on the fringes of the avant-garde and sheltered from artistic movements and trends because he invents an essentialist work through direct metal, to engrave an "eroticism in movement" that explores the timeless links between man and woman and their distressing otherness.
In 1975, Hiquily began an intense period of furniture-sculpture production.
He created mobile sculptures powered by electric motors and mobile fountains in 1980, which were presented at the F.I.A.C. by the Galerie Fabien Boulakia in 1984. In 2005, on the occasion of the publication of “Hiquily, bronzes et meubles” by Pierre Cabanne, at Editions de la Différence, Patrice Trigano presented a series of bronzes made in the 70s/80s, and the Galerie Yves Gastou showed for the first time around twenty pieces of furniture made in the 60s/70s. The LUTETIA hotel, faithful to its tradition of welcoming artists and sculptors, has been presenting around ten sculptures by Hiquily since 1998, which can be discovered throughout its lounges.
