WHO
Niki de Saint Phalle

WHAT
The solo exhibition features 18 of the late French-American artist’s (1930-2002) colourful and imaginative sculptural works created between 1970 and 2000. Widely noted as one of the few female monumental sculptors, the artist was also known for her social commitment and work. This showcase is a testament to her ability to weave together a myriad of influences, creating a rich tapestry that explores themes ranging from religion and mythology to personal ideology and social justice.

WHY
The artist’s imaginative and provocative works are characterised by vibrant rainbow hues, and draw inspiration from symbols rooted in religion, mythology, mysticism, and her own unique worldview. A fervent advocate for social issues, her art was a powerful tool to voice her beliefs on gender roles, religion, racial equality, and AIDS prevention. The exhibition not only showcases her artistic prowess but also serves as a platform to revisit the artist’s passionate commitment to societal change.
