Marilyn Sica Thompson
May 21, 1932 — December 11, 2022
SICA’s work is predominantly collagraph, silkscreens, and etchings. She was a forerunner as a women artist, not unlike other women artists that were part of the Abstract Expressionist movement. She was an innovator with her Charles Brand press, using techniques that became her signature style. SICA was prolific.
As a young printmaker in the 1950s, Sica established her mark in abstraction, creating original prints in the way of master printmakers. While Sica had her own original style, she was often referred to as a constructivist artist, following Picasso and Braque’s not in style but in approach and application.
Her work was predominantly collagraph, silkscreens, and etchings. She was a forerunner as a women artist, not unlike Lee Krasner and other women artists that were part of the Abstract Expressionist movement dominated by men. And, she was an innovator with her Charles Brand press, using techniques that became her signature style.
Sica is a prolific and acclaimed artist. Her work is celebrated both nationally and internationally. Her paintings, prints, constructions, sculptures, and ceramics are in museums and private collections worldwide.
She has lived and worked in England, Italy, Greece, Guatemala, Korea, Morroco, Spain, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia. For over 45 years, she maintained her primary studio in Chelsea, New York City. Drawn to the beauty of Montauk, Sica spent most summers working at her South Embassy Street studio, which is now an Italian Bakery. The Montauk Series is one of the reflections of that time.
At 90, Sica has returned to her beloved Montauk to live quietly by the sea.
