Isle of May 11. acrylic, ink and conte on paper £850 SOLD

The subtle interrelation of landscape and nature is the focus of my work. Composing paintings with a selective eye, I hope to portray a sense of place by exploring the rhythms of the subject. Using layers of line and shape to break space and creating a semi abstract image with some literal content, enables me to respond to the surrounding sights, sounds and smells. Whether endeavouring to retain an instance or allowing a painting to evolve with the changing elements. Nik Pollard studied at the Royal College of Art and is established as a painter and printmaker of the natural world. He has received several awards for his work and is a published author and illustrator of children's picture books exhibiting throughout the UK.
