Nicky Foreman

• Based in Auckland and hailing from Taranaki, painter Nicky Foreman articulates her personal journey through life. 

• Combining literal markers such as signposts and landmarks with symbols and metaphorical imagery, Foreman considers our connection with place and the personal meanings held by certain locations. 

• Her compositions retain a painterly basis yet often incorporate collage and three-dimensional media.   

• Forman encloses vignettes, moments in time within oval frames.

• A traditional Maori design hovers above an historical photograph of Taranaki,

• A tree silhouetted drifts past a cluster of stylized leaves

• A visual feast of rich colour, pattern and texture infuse Nicky Foreman’s paintings. Like an unfamiliar planetary constellation, signs and symbols float effortlessly upon a black grounding.

• Foreman’s paintings examine the emotional connection we often hold with locations - the sensation that a particular landscape can evoke. A visual diary of her journey, Foreman gathers imagery, dominant features, cultural associations, impressions, marks and symbols as a response to her environment.

• Nicky Foreman - 2008 Paintings• This work came about after a drawing I did last

year in the studio of Cezanne in Aix-en-Provence, France. I have been to this studio numerous times over the last 7 years and find it peaceful, a place to have clarity on my own thoughts on painting. I did a rough sketch of the side of the room that is all windows but purposefully did not take any photographs. I did not wish to only render what I saw. For me the work tries to capture by looking out the window the feeling I have when standing in the room- the quiet energy of the space. The painting is a hommage to Cezanne.
