Exotic Fruit Large

Based in rural Northamptonshire, England, Nicolas set up his studio over 36 years ago where he has been creating and carving his sculptures for exhibition, private commission and public spaces. Although his grandfather use to manage a masonry firm it was not until he went to do fine art degree at university that he experienced first hand stone carving and under the tutorage of John Paddison RCA, Nicolas’s passion for stone was ignited and has never left him. He is fascinated in a contemporary context by our ancient connection to our landscape and how relevant the use and meaning of stone has been to express humanities presence to the fertile wonders that surround our civilisation. Nicolas regularly shows in major exhibitions and sculpture gardens such as, On Form, Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden, The Pride of the Valley, the Royal Academy, ING Discerning Eye, MKG and the RHS Chelsea’s Flower Show. In 2021/22 saw a major retrospective of his career to date held in the Cloisters and Chapel of New College, Oxford. His work is collected world wide and he is an elected member of the Royal Society of Sculptor’s.
