Nicholas Broughton
Australian artist Nicholas utilises experimental methods through an array of textures and colour schemes to depict experiences during his time in Brazil. His works are often rich in tone and contrast, using bitumen as a primary foundation to elevate the dynamic nature of his pieces. In particular, his recent series Favela, incorporates these methods while creating a collection of works that provide an insight into his life experience, noting the inspiration of ‘shanty towns’ observed in such spaces. His pieces also incorporate gold leaf regularly, particularly to the windows to mimic the idea of indoor lighting being present and hence the notion of daily life. Such details evoke a sense of community and nostalgia from his hometown, an essential aspect of his subject matter which aim to convey to viewers an insight of the artist's background.
Nicholas has participated in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally including Australia, France, USA and Canada.
