“Magnetic Love Affair” is a sculpture created by Sheila Hicks in 1998. Belonging to the Minimalism art movement, the artwork exemplifies the genre characterized by simplicity and a focus on the fundamental features of art.
The sculpture, which embodies the aesthetics of Minimalism, features two soft, rounded forms placed adjacent to each other on a plain, smooth surface. The forms are textured, suggesting an intricate and tactile composition. Their strategic positioning in a neutral corner space enhances their dialogue, emphasizing the essence of connection implied by the title “Magnetic Love Affair.” The use of earthy tones imparts a feeling of groundedness, while the simplistic arrangement underscores the harmony and balance inherent in Minimalist art.
