About Nicholas Robertson

 
 
  • Biography
    I suspect like most figurative artists I find drawing and painting the human form wholly embedded with human behaviour. The desire to secure more than a representation of a persons movement, the spilling of light over contours or the various other physical facets is the reason we continue to make paintings. To recast emotions in texture, colour and pattern and to make it still, perhaps this is a measure of a successful painting.
    I have sold work around the world, to individuals and organisations and have produced award winning public art (usually with a colleague) for various institutions. I like selling online, its an enormous audience.
