A passion with purpose

Since watching his father carve wood in his workshop as a child, to his former career as a furniture designer and now as an artist, Nic has continually pushed the boundaries of his technical prowess.

His pieces, often composed of mixed materials such as wire, paper, and found objects, encapsulate an ingenious and innovative approach to contemporary art. Each component goes through a complex conception which can involve carving, casting, moulding, sanding and hand-painting, before the painstaking construction of the artwork begins.

They are crafted with exact precision, capturing scenes that range from the humorous and light-hearted to the poignant and thought-provoking. Nic bares a piece of himself through every artwork, saying, “We are all small parts of a big machine, that’s what the work is about. Small and vulnerable figures who can tackle anything. The works are bits of theatre. The theatre of life.”

"I am fascinated with the little details of our lives,” says Nic. “My work is about celebrating the small, yet important, parts we all play in the evolution of the world.”

Little people with a big message

Each artwork tells a story featuring tiny human figures placed in unexpected contexts. This conscious contrast provokes reflection on concepts of love, joy, struggle and resilience, a deeper contemplation about the intricacies of daily life, whilst inviting the viewer to discover a new detail with every glance.

Nic's work celebrates what truly makes us human. A decade on, his contribution to the world of miniature art continues to inspire and captivate, solidifying his reputation as a master of the form.

The first five artworks are available now in two sizes; a Collector’s Edition and a Concept Edition. The final instalment of The Next Chapter will be available later this year.

Material world: how an artist’s medium reveals hidden meanings

From animals in formaldehyde to COVID antigen tests, artists have used weird and wonderful materials to create art throughout history. Ancient civilisations would adorn themselves with animal bones, and many modern artists are incorporating recycled materials into their work to support environmentalism.
