In his new collection of work, Nic has challenged conventional notions of scale, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, and has created an entire universe within the palm of his hand. With references to past works as Nic reflects on the last decade and his past creations, the spirit of experimentation and the passion for self-expression are at the core of this new collection. The Next Chapter references Nic’s evolving creative journey with his progressive techniques, unexplored themes and sentiments yet to be unravelled and miniaturised.

The title, “Be Brave”, enthuses us to follow our path and experience our personal journey to the fullest and it is representative that the people around us help develop, guide and collaboratively build our journeys. The piece serves as a reminder that our life’s journey is an ever-evolving, multi faceted exploration of the world and ourselves. Whether it's capturing the essence of a fleeting moment, reimagining historical scenes, or interpreting fictional scenes, Nic’s possesses a unique ability to communicate subtlety.

The ninth map in this series is the south Dorset and the Dorset coast, specifically West Bay, Beaminster and Bridgeport and all the little beaches around that area. In the 90s Dorset was a bit of a creative hub with a lot of music, art and creative communities developing, of which Nic was a part of. “The South Dorset coast is a great place I have so many fond memories around there. I really do. And then a few years back I went back there with my whole family, my brother, his family, my mum and dad and we stayed in a house there and I got to show my boys West bay”.

Through the vibrant colours of the line work, intricate details, and imaginative routes, Nic captures the essence of wanderlust and self-discovery. Whether it's capturing the essence of a fleeting moment, reimagining historical scenes, or interpreting fictional scenes, Nic’s possesses a unique ability to communicate with subtlety and finesse. It invites viewers to pause, ponder, and marvel at the astonishing world of small wonders, reminding us that beauty and creativity can be found even in the tiniest of details, encouraging an intimate connection and a deeper appreciation of the artistry.
