Nicholas Holmes Artwork Cross Section

THIS FRIDAY OUR FEATURED ARTIST IS NICHOLAS HOLMES


Nicholas makes dynamic colourful paintings that respond to the cultural landscape of our present time. Often starting from small collages made of collected imagery from catalogues and magazines, he creates acrylic paintings which comment on society and take a wry look at social themes with a questioning and playful approach. The resulting images are bright and energetic, almost mischievous evoking intrigue and often humour in the viewer.






Recycling is at the heart of Nick’s practice, as he reworks pop culture imagery to express his thoughts and ideas, giving the viewer both something familiar and something new. His individualistic style manifests itself in different forms and alongside his amalgamated style works he paints figures and portraits.




His figurative works show skills of classic portraiture always with his sense of play on art history and bringing his striking use of colour and social commentary into the pieces. Playing with narratives and historical references his portraits are lively, whimsical works which are permeated with his sense of humour creating his signature style.
