NICK PRITCHARD
Nick Pritchard is a landscape artist based in South Wales. He draws his inspiration from the rugged beauty and character of the landscape around him, particularly the mountains around Blaenavon, with its stunning views of the Black Mountains and the intriguing scars of its industrial past.
Nick's work captures the ever-changing rhythms of the Welsh landscape, from the impressive peaks of the mountains to the serene flow of rivers, the quiet majesty of fields and trees, and the dramatic sweep of the coastline.
Predominantly working in acrylics using palette knives and brushes, Nick works in an instinctive and expressive manner, allowing for an element of unpredictability and ambiguity, which he develops into a recognisable representation of the landscape. Through this process he explores the impact of the changing seasons and the shifting nature of colour, light, and texture, seeking to evoke the energy and essence of the landscape in constant flux.
Water, particularly local rivers, canals, and brooks close to where he lives, is another key theme in his work. Drawn to the movement of the water, light and reflections on its surface, he enjoys the challenge of conveying its transient qualities in paint.
