NICHOLAS STJOHN ROSSE
Nicholas's pictures are concerned with the human figure and how it relates to its immediate surroundings. Portrait painting has featured throughout his career and he has an abiding interest in the human face and the way it appears, or doesn't, in figure compositions. All the visual and tactile properties of sand, rock, water and light envelop his subjects both pictorially and in reality. He says he trieS to convey their physical response and their moods. He comes from a traditional background of realism and draughtsmanship but he also believe in the expressive use of oil paint.
