ABOUT THE ARTWORK
'The Artist (Icon)' is part of a series of painting called 'Contemporary Icons', which took a year to complete. I collected portraits from the people I encountered in my everyday life and combined them with symbols, patterns and colours you might find in religious iconography. I wanted to question whether the halo had to be a holy symbol, or if it could be worn by people in my own life. 'The Artist (Icon)' is painted on African fabric. The pattern is visible throughout the painting - in particular as the figure's dress. Metallic silver and gold paint echo traditional materials used in Icon Painting. The painting is peaceful and aims to conjure up a sense of femininity and creativity. The Moon is alluded to in the halo, the symbols in the background suggest a journey through life.

Nicola Wiltshire
United Kingdom
NICOLA WILTSHIRE (b.1987 UK) completed her BA at University of Westminster, London (2009) and her MFA at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee (2015). Nicola observes the world through her paintings; using colour and shape to evoke the feeling of a place, person or experience. Images of walks and domestic interiors are amongst the themes used to create a quiet and uplifting space. Each painting begins with patterned fabric stretched over a wooden frame. Nicola draws in charcoal and makes her own oil paint using centuries-old techniques. The work is the result of an enchantment with colour, texture, materials and pattern, plus a celebration of art’s history.
