Nicholas Borden

As an artist, I try to depict the mainly outside world in front of me. Working from life, my subjects have been locally sourced. I prefer overhead views from afar. Activity and busyness tend to be a reoccurring theme in the paintings.

The colour palette is limited but tends to be consistently varied and never repetitive. Variations on similar colour I find exciting and stimulating. My motivation is to try and depict a truthful visual world which has a personal vision and does not show a weakness of contrivance. The compositions are not photographic replication and have a unity.
