Nick's Craft

“My Work explores the relationship between light and dark, and how colour can manipulate structures. I like my work to give the viewer just enough information that they can understand the form whilst maintaining a contemporary abstract style”

Nick studied Fine Art throughout his life and attended Byam Shaw School Of Art and Design, now part of Central St Martins in London. After leaving London Nick moved to Bristol where he studied and completed a BETEC Diploma in Fine Art, at the acclaimed Spike Island. Experienced in exhibiting artwork at prestigious galleries and events.

Nick’s obsession with the effects of light in the sky and reflections on water, has enabled his fascination to develop his own style of strong rich colours and apply his strokes in an impasto application that allow the colours to explode out from the canvas. Nick’s new works are exploring the use of Graffiti style paint, which are then carefully blended with oil paint.
