Original Painting by Nic Foster
Acrylic on Board 380×1220mm
Nic Foster - Whakatū, Nelson
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.
