Nicole Rose

My art practice explores the emotional response to the natural world around me.

I primarily create abstract paintings based on the landscape. Using layers of oil colour and a sweeping brush technique the finished paintings take on an ethereal quality. Alongside my paintings I also create complementary prints that are at once a reflection of the original painting – and a new perspective on it. Focusing on a photographed section of a finished painting, I work in Photoshop to reimagine and rebalance, creating a run of limited-edition giclée prints that are both a part of the original works – and a fresh response to the landscape in their own right.

My current selection of paintings and prints are created following visits to nature reserves where I record sights, sounds, colours and routes taken, to remember and work from in my studio.

I graduated from Central St Martins School of Art in 1992 with a BA in Graphic Design. I have had a successful career as a Creative Director, running my own commercial design studio for many years, and I now work from my art studio in North London.
