Original Painting by Nic Foster
Whakatū, Nelson
Inspired by a Falling rocks sign spotted in Arthur’s pass.
Falling is such an interesting word and I think it relates to our current care of the environment. We are all falling below the standard of care required. The texture in the painting is building material, hessian and cardboard and the arrangement is reminiscent of the underpass that was remodelled to accommodate a waterfall in Otira gorge.
Oil on Board
1000×1000mm
Nic Foster paints in his Mount Street studio high above Nelson city. His work is primarily a response to living in and experiencing the surroundings of the Te Waipounamu, South Island landscape. Foster tries to capture drama, light and atmosphere in his painting and his sublime light and dark atmospheric mountain and ocean sounds scenes have, to date, been his trademark for collectors.
Recently Foster has become less literal and more abstract in the way he depicts an area, with colour, textures and text becoming a focus. The misty depictions and sub-text are a visual representation of things disappearing before our eyes. The sub-text references his concern for the environment and climate change and the impacts on our Whenua. Nic Foster's work is held in private collections in New Zealand and Overseas.
In ‘Blackmore Foster - Two Perspectives on Aotearoa Landscapes’, Foster’s paintings draw the viewer inward, offering more intimate, immersive encounters with the land.
