NICK BODIMEADE

Nick Bodimeade is a painter of everyday life. His subjects in the past have included dogs, trucks, sheds, chairs, lorries and motorways. In recent work he has concentrated on the beach, a subject with a long term fascination for him.

He says “He says “A field is like a blank canvas, re-colonised each day by the cattle who graze there, always changing, but with discernible patterns. Its visual structure developing as the cows respond to terrain, weather, and the available food supply.”

This and another of his favoured subjects, Beaches, are themes everyone can relate to - spaces where we have all done our own looking and thinking. For Nick this is important, he feels the viewer therefore meets the paintings half way, the visual ground work done.

He has recently produced several series of prints. Firstly a series of drypoints with chin colle in a small "edition variable"; and secondly a series of woodcuts, some with handcolouring, in an edition of 12, on the subject of lurchers.

Nick Bodimeade teaches fine art on the University course at Northbrook College. He lives and paints at the foot of the South Downs by the banks of the river Ouse near Lewes and his work is regularly shown in solo and group exhibitions in London and the South.
