Photorealistic Minimalism – Paintings by Nigel Cox
Published Oct 14, 2011
Beautiful Oil on Linen paintings by Irish artist Nigel Cox.
Here’s more information from the artist himself:
“Painting primarily on linen, I build up thin layers of oil paint, developing depth and detail. The resulting paintings are smooth to the touch and seem to glow with an inner light.
My love of large open spaces and lack of clutter is obvious in my work but I am also fascinated by detail. These opposing elements are merged in my paintings in a style which I call Photorealistic Minimalism*.
My paintings provide the viewer with a glimpse beyond the clutter of everyday life, conjuring up notions of escape and peace, offering sanctuary from the frenetic world outside.
The figures are alone but not lonely; searching but not anxious, anticipating yet calm. They have an inner peace and strength and are at one with their surroundings. The paintings reflect solitude, tranquillity and confidence, giving every day scenes an unexpected and surreal feeling while keeping them solidly within the real world.”
