Captivating painter Nick Holdsworth is a mixed-media artist who creates enigmatic portraiture of some of the most iconic stars of music, fashion and the big screen. He uses a multi-discipline approach to create, including digital media, graphics and of course hand painting and the result are eye catching limited editions and originals!
With his releases in 2019, hand embellished box canvases, he was able to imbue them with a wonderful lattice effect using a particular symbol to representative the iconic person being painted.
'Like A Prayer,' features Madonna and the symbol is a cross. 'When Doves Cry' is of course Prince and his own former name 'symbol' is used. 'Thin White Duke’ is David Bowie and has the Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt. Lastly 'Noughties Playboy' has Kate Moss, and the Playboy bunny as the symbol.
Nick's art has a striking boldness and although they are clearly reworkings of world famous photography, there is something deeply personal and interpretive, a great tribute to each star’s status in Pop Culture and in the lives of their many fans around the world.
