Alice
HERRICK

Herrick is a multi-disciplinary artist specialising in drawing, painting and sculpture. She has a fine art degree from Kingston University, a painting Masters from Chelsea College of Art and was founder & director of Herrick Gallery in Shoreditch & Mayfair. 

Artist Portraits is an ongoing series of portraits by Alice Herrick. These tender pencil and ink studies on watercolour paper are of the faces, and importantly - the hands, of a selection of international female artists, whose lives and work resonate in Alice’s own life and art practice.

This series began in March 2021, and is Alice’s response to the discourse around an increasing number of female artists being finally recognised in galleries and museums, as she reshapes her own view of art history and contemporary art. Configured around eyes and hands, an artist’s closest and most vital instruments, Alice pays homage to those who have inspired and trail blazed past and present, forging a devotional practice of study and exploration that in turn has been a journey of affirmation, discovery and revelation.

To date there are 116 portraits in the series, of which 110 are featured, in order of birth, on this beautiful silk scarf. Following exhibitions of the portraits at The Stash Gallery in 2022 & 2023, many of the scarves are now adorning the necks and heads of collectors across the country.
