Nicole Hassler (born August 1953 in Basel, Switzerland) is a Swiss-French visual artist known for her minimalist and conceptual approach.[1] She lives and works in Saint-Louis (Haut-Rhin), France. Her work engages with color, identity, feminism, consumerism, and industrial culture, primarily through painting, alongside photography, video, and three-dimensional forms.
Biography
Nicole Hassler graduated in 1977 in interior architecture from the Haute école d'art et de design Genève and in 1980 in fine arts.[2]
She lived and worked in Boston and New York from 1981 to 1982, then in Berlin in 2000–2001 with the Landis&Gyr grant, and later in Paris in 2014.
Work
Color is central to Hassler’s artistic research, particularly the cultural and symbolic significance of the colors applied to skin.[3] Through painting and other media, she interrogates how visual language reflects and shapes political and cultural identities.
Her 2024 exhibition *Lipsticks* at PS Projectspace placed her work within the minimal-conceptual tradition.[4]
Her work has also been featured in the German art magazine Monopol, which highlighted her exhibitions and conceptual approach.[5]
