Amber Galleries couldn’t be more excited to present the incredible works of the renowned local artist, Nick Quirke. We invite you to join us for the launch night on the 29th September, 6pm to 8pm.
Nick studied Fine Art throughout his life and attended Byam Shaw School Of Art and Design, now part of Central St Martins in London. After leaving London Nick moved to Bristol where he studied and completed a BETEC Diploma in Fine Art, at the acclaimed Spike Island.
Nick’s obsession with the effects of light in the sky and reflections on water, has enabled his fascination to develop his own style of strong rich colours and apply his strokes in an impasto application that allow the colours to explode out from the canvas. Nick’s new works are exploring the use of Graffiti style paint, which are then carefully blended with oil paint.
Nick was also a very accomplished sportsman and in 2001 was part of the Leander Rowing Team that went onto win the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta.
