Renowned for his hyper-real paintings, Nick concluded the year with an exhibition celebrating water in its many states – ocean, ice and snow – which he use to apologise for the “appalling” way we treat it.
Pictured: ‘Promises’ is one of Nick’s favourite pieces of work from 2020.
In this new body of work, Nick steered away from his beloved blues and incorporated pinks and oranges in a series of paintings depicting local sunsets.
One of those, titled ‘Promises’, is one of Nick’s favourite pieces of artwork he worked on this year. “It’s a sunset, big wave painting and it’s got tremendous power,” he said.

But Nick also enjoyed working on something a little bit more unusual: a two-meter painted steel sculpture reminiscent of his ‘Cows in discos’ project.
“I also did a project for Trinity Manor Farm, where I made some great big cow chandeliers which hang in the cow shed,” he explained.
“That was an amazing experience because it was just quite fun and I did it all the way through lockdown.
“It was actually my big project through lockdown. I did this painting over lockdown as well but it was something different in that I am kind of used to doing paintings.”
