Working within a set of almost mathematically rigorous constraints, Nicholas has created works of paradoxical richness and depth. Painted in warm reds, ochres, greens, blues and gold, Nicholas’s interiors, exteriors and crane shots of thickly populated masses of people and objects create giddy sensations of colour, movement and scale of a fictitious world of abstract patterns. Dense cityscapes with vertiginous architectural spaces, Nicholas’s recent works have been transformed into urban landscapes of regimented vertical and horizontal lines of people and objects; cars in a car park, figures on a beach, and aeroplanes on landing strips.
