Nick is a talented ex-Glen Innes local and an accomplished commercial artist creating fusion works of traditional indigineous symbols and contemporary designs exhibited across the region.
The opening was very successful, with about 50 people in attendance and Nick selling several paintings.
He said he was very happy with opening night.
“It’s one of the best opening nights with sales and the amount of people,” he said.
“The Glen Gallery team made it happen.”
“I was pretty anxious before but everything worked out.”
“I ended up with 26 paintings, five which I finished the night before we opened.”
Nick made 12 sales at the opening, which he said was an amazing achievement.
“I’m happy to just sell one painting.”
“There was lots of support there.”
Nick’s painting are modern contemporary aboriginal art, they combine traditional symbols mixed with modern themes.
Young people and the issues and hardships that they may face are some of themes throughout Nick’s latest works.
Glen Innes Art Gallery’s immediate past president Nicci Parry-Jones said the opening was a hit.
“Adele Chapman-Burgess opened the exhibition and some of the Aboriginal community were there,” she said.
“It’s really a diverse range, not just one style, and they are executed well.”
“They are of very high quality with a broad appeal, and there was lots of good feedback about particular works.”
“We are pleased to get the exhibition in.
“Trying to fit in a solo show is something very tricky, we have to plan a year in advance.”
The free exhibition will close on Friday, September 11.
