Christine Hiebert’s works on paper and wall installations investigate the nature and language of gestural line. She has focused on drawing since 1989. Her sense of the mark was influenced by undergraduate studies in typography and letterforms. She uses traditional and nontraditional media in small- and large-scale drawings on paper, often bringing attention to material differences within a drawing. Since 2000, she has also created site-specific wall installations using tape and other materials, engaging dynamics of the human body and architectural spaces.
Hiebert’s work has been shown at The Morgan Library and Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Drawing Center NY, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA. Past installation sites for monumental wall drawings include the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany, and The Davis Museum at Wellesley College, in Wellesley, MA. Recent solo exhibitions of her work include “Force Field” at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, NY in 2021, of large-scale drawings on paper; “Restless” at Victoria Munroe Fine Art in New York City in 2021, which featured recent works in color; and “zwischen” in 2023, at Kunsthaus St. Josef in Solothurn, Switzerland, which featured a site-specific room-drawing in a former baroque church. Hiebert is based in Brooklyn, NY, working periodically in more remote parts of the country.
