Eva Schicker’s delicate arabesque ink drawings reveal tiny figures and bits of poetic text. Her lines never connect; they bunch together like commuters on a train always preserving a smidgen of personal space. – Charles Schultz The Brooklyn Rail, July 2012.
Eva Schicker co-founded the Himalayan-Tibetan Thangka Arts with Sonam Rinzin at ethan pettit gallery in 2015, and has been a student of Sonam Rinzin since. Much of her current works feature iconographies and techniques used in the Himalayan Thangka Arts tradition.
Originally, Schicker studied fine art and film at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Germany, under Prof. Jochen Zellmann. She then moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn and settled in New York. She has participated in exhibitions at the Kunsthaus/Kunstszene Zurich, the Bronx Museum, Artists Space, FFA Gallery, Minor Injury Gallery, and most recently, at ethan pettit gallery, and the WG News gallery. She has received a NYFA Fellowship, a residency at the Video Arts Center in Oswego NY, and engagements in Japan, Europe, and Los Angeles. Schicker also studied at Film Video Arts (FVA) under the renowned filmmaker Shirley Clarke. Schicker's films have been screened at the Kitchen, Anthology Film Archives, Filmmakers Collective, Film Crash, and Artists Space and at many other venues. She is the founder of the Avant Brooklyn Film Noir Festival as part of Minor Injury Gallery.
