Note: Glasgow born artist, Nick Smith produces striking versions of iconic artworks, with the exclusive use of colour swatches. Smith Graduated from Coventry University with a First Class Masters Degree in Product Design, facilitating his successful career in commercial interior design for 10 years, where his medium of custom colour swatches evolved. He breathes new life into each image; highlighting the vast complexities and subtleties of tone in each historic piece, whilst making a stark commentary on the unforgiving culture of modern digitalisation. Having had his first solo exhibition in 2015, Nick is continuing year-by-year to grow as an artist and wow us with beautifully matched colour chips to iconic artworks combined with well-chosen, often provocative, words.
