Nickolai Globe - Thule 13
61cm x 45cm, pigment-based ink print on paper, limited edition of 100, 2020
Between realms of physical and metaphysical, matter and anti matter, lies a portal, a passage to another place. In this time of social distances and isolation Nickolai has been thrown deeper into an imagined world, empty of humanity, complete, an untouched wilderness of the mind, where the heart searches the horizons, seeks an echo of its own voice, a reminder of its existence.
Nickolai Globe
Nickolai explores the surface on which we stand, the thin crust, our place in the universe. His meditation is metamorphism, matter and deep time, expressed in the ancient lunar landscape of the Isle of Harris, a remote and archaic island of rich geology and elemental force, where he lives and works. Sub-arctic and raw, its power and complexity is completely exposed. Expressed in Ceramic, Wood, Stone, and Paint, his work is a reflection of the phenomenal. His path began through clay, over the years he has continued his explorations geographically, conceptually and materially, working with mediums from earth to digital, sound to steel and in environments from aboriginal tropical jungle to urban wasteland.
