Mick Lindberg, born in Sweden in 1950, learned the art of needlework from her mother and grandmother. Throughout her life, her love of textiles and fashion has influenced her career choices, first as a successful model and photographer, now as a textile artist.
The unique compositions in cloth and thread by this Swedish artist depicts narratives in an almost painterly manner, making use of pattern and texture from her archive of vintage and antique fabrics. At the same time, the quality of stitching and intricate layering of materials makes each piece an exquisitely finished accomplishment. The faces that appear in Lindberg's compositions are engaging and the clever combination of materials and embroidered detail have, sometimes, a folkloric heritage
Mick Lindberg has held numerous solo exhibitions in London, as well as in New Mexico, New York and Bath. In 1994 her work was included in an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Her works are in the permanent collections of the British Arts Council and Falmouth Art Gallery, Cornwall.
Represented by David Simon Contemporary, she has had four solo exhibitions with the gallery since spring 2019.
