Volcano Swallows by Nicholas Size:M - 50 x 70cm Purple and Black Lines distils

Purple and Black Lines distils botanical form into its most graphic essentials — sinuous stems and delicate floral structures rendered in a high-contrast palette of deep violet and near-black

the intricate surface patterning and precise decorative geometry of Klimt's design are captured in full detail — the tonal richness and ornamental complexity of the original come through with exceptional clarity

and cool blue-greys that drift and pool with a confident looseness

and repeating geometric borders are arranged in strict horizontal registers

from the silvered water to the dark silhouette of island foliage

Volcano Swallows by Nicholas Size:M - 50 x 70cm Purple and Black Lines distilsVolcano Swallows places darting birds against the raw drama of an erupting landscape. Nicholas draws on retro inspired line work and vivid, graphic colour to build a scene that pulses with energy and movement. The composition is playful yet commanding foreground figures cutting across a turbulent volcanic backdrop in a style that recalls vintage travel posters filtered through a contemporary sensibility. Tension and delight exist in equal measure.
