Vicken Parsons was born in Hertfordshire, U.K., in 1957. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art between 1975 and 1979. Parsons makes small, intimate paintings on plywood panels using thin layers of oil paint as well as 3-dimensional works in a series called Painted Objects. Her paintings usually originate in the experience of architecture or landscape but are all primarily concerned with space and light. Paintings by Parsons are in significant public collections around the world including Tate, U.K.; Belvedere Museum, Austria; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, U.K.; Museum Voorlinden, The Netherlands and the Arts Council Collection, U.K., amongst others. Parsons lives and works in London.
Vicken has said:
When you first hold the wax in your hand it feels hard, crystalline almost, and you reach for a knife. Gradually though - and surprisingly - it becomes malleable until it is almost too soft to work. Equally slowly, a form emerges, and asserts itself.
