Nick Vivian has created a beautiful new body of work celebrating the beautiful landscapes, and sunsets, of England.
These works are just as eye-catching as his well loved brighter works but some are slightly more subtle in palette. Each painting is created using an impasto technique which thick layers of oil painting giving each work an incredible texture. Nick uses classic techniques to achieve broken surfaces giving his work its distinctive style. With each of these paintings opaque impasto oil is applied directly to the canvas using a knife to create a visible texture. The high-stakes technique of applying 'wet on wet' is laden with pressure. As the paint begins to dry your time is up, meaning that just like the subject he paints, Nick must create maximum impact in a short space of time.
