Deborah
Nickolls is a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools and Central St
Martins College in London.
She has exhibited internationally and regularly in London, since 1998. Over this period her painting has developed from a study of the atmosphere of mountainous areas to exploring the actual substance of the land itself - rock. Developing different techniques and processes is important in order to describe the varying textures and surfaces. Working primarily in paint - raw canvas or linen are combined with multiple thin layers of paint to echo the rock-forms that inspire her.
This ongoing interest in geology combined with a love of
mountaineering and rock-climbing has resulted in visits to many of the
great mountain ranges, including crossing the Himalayas from Nepal to
Tibet and an ascent of Mont Blanc.
Trips to the Andes and the canyonlands of Arizona and Utah inform
her recent work.
She
is currently developing a new body of work based on the red sandstones
of Cumbria, England. |
