Philip Nicol
Nicol makes luminous paintings of urban spaces in which the ordinary and commonplace is transformed into the extraordinary. Somewhat dreamlike and metaphysical in character, these works present a very particular ‘take’ on the world we inhabit and feel we know. Recently he has begun to revisit other genres such as interiors and still lifes. Both make play with the dynamics of space and the presence of inert objects.
