Nic Gear's art is situated within a culture of walking, engaging with the nature and substance of ''landscape' as a key source material. Making work that's about Nic's relationship to the outdoors through collections, connections & conversations, using both abstract and literal elements.
Our understanding of reality, what we see, what we choose not to see are a key part of Nic's journey. Whilst stepping out Nic observes the conflict between human need and the beauty of the landscape, the debris, the scars, the weathering, the entropy.
Walking a landscape links his sense of identity & the spiritual essence of place, where he's visually writing about the steps we’re all taking. These threads come together in Nic as an artist who looks to ‘articulate the unseen’.
