Read MoreNicoline Franziska von Finck is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Parsons, The New School for Design in 2019 with a BFA in Fine Arts. Her primary focus is in oil painting, drawing, and soft sculpture. Drawing from the tradition of storytelling as an act of sharing and passing down information, Nicoline’s works investigate language. In our present world, information is transmitted instantly and constantly but rarely preserved outside of almost entirely intangible lines of codes dictating the functions of information.
Nicoline’s pieces are heavily process based and study constantly evolving relationships between biomorphic forms which dance, float, and intertwine in often macabre spaces as they search for home. A procession of figures often behaves like a series of characters in a theatrical performance. Varying personalities enter and exit the frame as they seek their sense of place. Her paintings establish a sense of permanence and tangibility. As her work is heavily influenced by ballet, jazz, and theater, each of which exists in time and relies on sensitive collaborations between dancers, instruments, and actors, her work not only embodies movement and conversation but also indicates a passing of time within the two-dimensional space. Her sculptures are non-figurative and represent these relationships three-dimensionally.
Nicoline is represented by Galerie Aurous in Munich, Germany. Her work has been featured in various publications, including Phoebe Journal, Passengers Journal, F3LL Magazine, After Happy Hour Review, Humana Obscura, Wild Roof Journal, and The Closed Eye Open.
