Nick Stull joins FLC

Nick Stull is a multi-media painter whose recent work explores our relationship to the sea. Stull’s depiction of water subverts its general seduction, conveying urgency and confinement, rather than an open expanse. Formally, Stull condenses space by manipulating of picture planes. Horizon lines are placed abruptly and unnaturally in the paintings, confusing and compacting fore and backgrounds into a shallow plane.

Stull works many styles into single works of art, including neon oil paint, aerosol gradients, graphic pen & ink patterning, and painterly realism.

Nick received his BFA from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2008. He currently works as Exhibit Designer at the Wexner Center for the Arts, and was a previous owner of 83 gallery and gallery director of Mac Worthington Gallery. He is a busy artist, simultaneously producing large-scale murals, portrait commissions, graphic design, and the experimental paintings exhibited in this show. When he has spare time, he hops in the nearest body of water and swims laps for inspiration.
