Nic’s artistic career was born in a stained glass and metal workshop in the south of England. He went on to study at the Winchester School of Art before completing private commissions for glass and bronze works. Inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, Nic intertwines intense feelings and postulations about society within his intricate sculptures. Placed in their own little universes, Nic’s figurines offer the viewer an intimacy akin to peering through the window of a stranger’s home. Within that glimpse, our own feelings are evoked. He explains: “In my own small way, I strive to create my own worlds to ask and bring to the forefront the dilemmas and questions that we all feel day-to-day, as well as highlight the madness around us.” Nic’s lively figurines are made from wire, paper and clay. Keen to challenge his methods, he has begun to explore the possibilities of nanotechnology and 3D printing for his miniature buildings, which are then intricately carved, primed and patinated. Each of Nic’s pieces is unique and lovingly-crafted. He hopes that each viewer will engage with them in their own special way.
