Chicago, IL
Sculpture/Installation
Nicole Beck is a professional working artist who fabricates sculpture in her studio, has worked for many years with young apprentice artists on collaborative public art projects as a Lead Artist, and has an extensive show record. Beck has installed site-specific public art commissions nationwide that are the result of intensive research and collaborative input from invested stakeholders. Nicole has won numerous awards and has attended many artists residencies, creating a web of support nationwide. Beck’s work has evolved over the years thanks to a background in the sciences to incorporate the concepts and applications of physics and the natural sciences. Botanical sciences, optics and astronomy are frequent themes.
In 2004, Beck co-created Chicago Sculpture International with a tight group of professional sculptors and thus was born a thriving satellite organization of the International Sculpture Center. Nicole’s work includes large-scale public sculptures that have incorporated a variety of media, deftly moving across mediums to apply whatever best materializes the concept.
