Born in Luanshya,
Zambia in 1975, Nick has a degree in English from York
University and background in film and
photography. In 2004 he became a full time artist and
now channels his artistic skill and creativity into his
natural art.
Nick has pioneered
his
designs through an enthusiasm to explore and celebrate the
natural world and the skilled craft of working in
resin,
Perspex and wood. Amongst
this variety of natural objects he uses real butterflies from
the sustainable farming industry, helping to protect the species
by promoting the conservation of their habitats.
Using light, reflections and
shadows to replicate movement, Nick continually adapts new
techniques and materials to capture his subjects at their most
beautiful and diverse. With sell out shows
and a queue of commissions, Nick is rapidly earning a reputation
as an artist of real talent, skill and imagination.
Recently
appointed Artist in
Residence at the InterContinental London Park Lane, an exhibition of
Nick Jeffrey's artwork is now on show at the hotel alongside
contemporary artists Damien Hirst and Bruce Mclean.
A solo show will take place in October 2010
in partnership with Grandy Art and
the Sladmore
Gallery.
