城堡
A. 希拉·希克斯
"Sens dessus dessous"
published at 19/11/2018
对于这座珍藏绝版古老挂毯的城堡而言，在展出了Gabriel Orozco根据褒格丽王妃客房里的墙纸而创作的“花影”（Fleurs fantômes）之后，将挂毯和墙纸创作的任务交由Sheila Hicks负责是再自然不过的事情了，因为她是如此擅长倾听墙壁的喃喃私语之声。
她打理纺织材料的技艺娴熟无比，就好像是画家使用水粉画颜料一般信手拈来。
对于她而言，每次创作就好比一次游历、一次探索之旅。色彩斑斓的美丽蒲团以及羊毛或亚麻材质的巨大绒球总是与她形影不离，陪伴她创造出无限诗意的艺术天地。
Sheila Hicks的创作领域包括装置作品、拼贴作品以及羊毛或亚麻织造的精美物品。这位色彩艺术大师一生中足迹遍及全球各地，对于自己在游历过程中见过的纺织技艺，她都达到了十分精通的掌握程度。
2018年是Sheila Hicks为卢瓦尔河畔肖蒙城堡进行创作的第二个年头，她开始装饰城堡内的各间套房。为此她混搭使用了羊毛和纸张这两种材质，所选用的纸在厚度上与皮革相当。这样的选材是为了与这些曾经见证过如此多宾客、生命与魂灵的空间形成呼应，以映衬其古色古香的墙纸、年代久远的墙壁以及漂浮在空中的灵魂。
如同画作一般，纸、丝绸、竹、羊毛与经受岁月侵蚀的墙壁以及斑驳的墙纸构成了对话，以隐晦的方式讲述着过去的秘密和尘封的故事，让逝去的历史重新浮现，沿时间的长河溯源而上重拾往日色彩。
“哪怕针对待装饰的空间、将使用的材料以及将展示的色彩进行了长时间的深思熟虑，依然只有在接触装置作品的构成元件和环境氛围之后，她才能真正进入到创作佳境。她会穷尽一切方法，利用所有的器件、建筑元素或墙面起伏，听从自己的本能心声去构建出一个场景，从而将自己与观众的想象相互融合起来，以充满诗意的方式去打破原有的秩序。凭借自身的天赋异禀在以及在长期实践中形成的独特慧眼，她能清楚感知到自己的作品应该呈现怎样的场面、应该发生怎样的情形。正如‘眼观六路’的说法一样，她就拥有这种无所不知的眼光，能够快速地把握整体场景，并敏锐地捕捉到色彩层面的潜力所在。
Sheila Hicks以画作或者大自然中的各种元素为灵感之源，将脑海中出现的想法和观点用具体的形象表达出来。
借助不常用的选材，例如城堡地下室里浓墨重彩的密织布料以及最后一层套房里的珍贵墙纸，与非同寻常的建筑空间之间构成了诗情画意的对话。
她在肖蒙城堡的地下各层中选用了令人印象深刻的深红色，让这一主色调张扬地占据了‘首席’位置，并且铺陈到了地面之上，仿佛‘棋盘’一样摆放舒卷。这一气势恢弘的深红色‘幕布’与Jannis Kounellis用梁柱构建的强劲垂直度作品毗邻而居，二者之间构成了旗鼓相当的强烈对峙。
在旁边的《屠宰场》（La boucherie）作品中，群青色的神秘瀑布里隐藏着通向假象隧道的一扇被她称为‘秘密出口’的门，与从城堡枪眼传射而入的光线形成了巧妙搭配。
在作品《公共食堂》（Le réfectoire）中，她将淡茶色和赭色的带子混合编织成了一些绠带饰，令之延伸到了石头的组织结构之中。
在城堡过去充当客房的空间里，她自豪地展出了一些单色布料。它们像一面面锦旗一样铺陈开来，宣示着自身色彩的唯我独尊。她也让《天空落入到烟囱之中》（Tomber le ciel dans la cheminée）。凭靠对色调细微差异的高度敏感，将裸露的灰色旧墙面与浅粉色的珍贵高丽纸搭配了起来。在一间余存着残破墙纸的房间里，她创造的一面‘颤动之墙’会随着游客的脚步产生抖动，与被岁月揭起的旧墙纸形成呼应。
在Sheila Hicks命名为《迷醉》（Envoûtement）的房间里，她将一些布料与仿佛亘古存在的破烂织品巧妙混合了起来，与建筑的拱顶构成了绝妙的应和，将该空间衬托得越发神秘。
正如其手中永不停歇的线轴一样，Sheila Hicks也从未停下过脑海中的创作思路。她在地上和墙上投掷和抛撒着各种各样的布料和羊毛织品，通过场景和空间创作与历史和建筑进行对话。她用心为之营造氛围的这些空间已经充当过Sarkis和Gabriel Orozco的灵感源泉。他们与她一样具有特别敏感的天赋，能够感知到空中漂浮的魂灵，捕捉到来自另一个世纪的难以觉察的细微迹象。
除此之外，无论是晶莹透亮的风格、深浅浓淡的色彩差别还是各种光线搭配对她而言都不陌生。她满心欢喜地摆弄着手中的调色板，将所有可能的材质和色彩都呈现到世人眼前。
Sheila Hicks的布置作品可谓‘不著一字，尽得风流’。这位艺术家惯于通过暗示的方式将联想引向一些神秘的世界，令之不知不觉中渗入我们的灵魂。” Chantal Colleu-Dumond
人物介绍

美国
Sheila Hicks au Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2018 - © Éric Sander
Sheila Hicks（1934年出生于美国黑斯廷斯）自1964年开始在巴黎生活和工作。
Sheila Hicks的创作起源于将抽象艺术与众多其它学科结合起来的现代艺术之漫长传统。这一美国艺术家为民间的手工纺织传统赋予了新的理念，通过纺织作品模糊了绘画与雕塑领域之间的界限。在耶鲁大学师从Josef Albers之后，她在1958年至1959年期间到南美洲游历，对哥伦比亚、智利、秘鲁和玻利维亚的手工制造方法进行了研究，并且开始用纤维进行创作。之后纤维便成为了其作品的主要材料。她从众多的旅游经历以及所研究的各种文化之中汲取养分，为自己的创作过程拟定了一大目标，那就是达成作品和观众之间以及作品与所在建筑空间之间的真正互动。
