About the Item
Artist Comments
A woman sits on a bench, sipping her drink, outside of St. Mark’s Coffee
Tea in the East Village. The cafe’s red facade contrasts with the subdued urban environment. Cool blue, green, and gray tones soften the store's bold color. Despite the shallow physical space, the composition creates depth through the crack of the door and the window reflections. Graffiti on the walls and door contrasts the cafe's orderly lettering, adding texture and grounding the scene in its urban setting.
About the Artist
Nick learned to paint from his mother when he was a child, but it wasn’t until college that he decided to be a career artist. His realist images of New York City are inspired by the drama of the city–the changing light, the spontaneous magic. Nick begins his process with reference photographs from his daily life, often shooting the same scene at multiple times of the day. He brings the images back to his Brooklyn studio where he composes a scene in Photoshop, adding and subtracting elements from multiple photographs to achieve the perfect composition before beginning to paint. “As my artwork is realistic, one might be tempted to think they are copies from nature,†says the artist. “Really, they are composed–every detail is considered. It is a balance between what is seen, what is true to nature, and what can make a good painting.â€
