Nicola Hicks, 'Cock', 1994 - Colour Artist's Proof Etching
5140
A compelling colour etching by the British artist Nicola Hicks, titled 'Cock' and dated 1994. Presented as an artist's proof and personally inscribed "for John Hicks 94", this is an intimate and desirable example of Hicks's graphic work from the 1990s.
Hicks is celebrated for her intensely expressive depictions of animals and human figures. Her work is distinguished by a powerful sense of character and physical presence, often combining humour, vulnerability, and a slightly unsettling emotional charge. In this print, the subject is rendered with the directness and vitality that have become central to her practice, while the use of colour gives the image added depth and immediacy.
As an artist's proof, this impression has a special status within the edition: such proofs are traditionally retained by the artist and printed in limited numbers outside the standard edition. The personal inscription further enhances its appeal, giving the work a direct connection to the artist's circle and its original recipient.
A striking and characterful print by one of Britain's most distinctive contemporary artists, *Cock* would make a thoughtful addition to a collection of British printmaking, animal imagery, or works by Nicola Hicks. Its combination of subject, colour, artist's-proof status, and presentation inscription makes it especially appealing to collectors.
