About The Artwork
You see what you expect to see. I sit at a piano for a few minutes on most days and have done so for years. Then, one winter day, with the low sun angling through the window, I chanced to see my knees reflected in the woodwork. Looking closer, my eyes now properly open, I saw my face reflected, not once but twice, and at different sizes. I'd simply never noticed the reflections before. I worked on the painting for nearly a year. The painting now hangs in a company boardroom in the heart of Paris. NB: Though described on this site as 'acrylic on wood', this work is actually painted in acrylic on a gessoed panel. The panel is made of hardboard, known in the US as Masonite.

United Kingdom
I paint industrial architecture, townscapes, landscapes, portraits and still life. Many pictures are based on London buildings, some of which - most of which come to think of it - have since been demolished, though not as a direct result of depiction. My interest in industrial architecture stems from the fact that I used to paint outdoors, in front of the scene itself. One of the few places you could do this without being disturbed was on derelict industrial wasteland - brown field sites as they're now called. If you paint in public places passers-by constantly interrupt. They look over your shoulder at what you're doing and say things like: 'My Nigel draws....'
