Nick Grove combines traditional painting skills and techniques with modern digital technology to create these wonderfully rich and glossy abstract images. Initially working with oil paint, Nick drips, pours, brushes and even throws his the paint on to the canvas. Each layer is specifically mixed to the correct colour and consistency to create a unique visual concoction of abstract form and mark. Using his instincts Nick then peels, scrapes and scratches until he unearths a satisfying whole image. He then manipulates this image on the computer using the latest digital software until he finally realises the finished abstract work.
