Nick Nylen (he/him)
NSCAD Artist-in-Residence

Nylen’s paintings are a collage of natural and digital textures that walk the line of representation and abstraction. His works features juxtaposing elements; graphic and painterly, smooth and textured, natural and unnatural. Nylen’s interest in these seemingly disparate elements lie within the way they create new, often surreal, narratives that create intriguing compositions. Source images are used by the artist toi nform specific ares of the paintings, there is often a simplification of form that occurs in the translation of these images into paint.
