NICHOLAI COX
"I paint things and dream of butterflies. Often, the two intermingle to create the surreal existence of life and death, beauty and the macabre, that showcases itself in hidden glances and tangible whispers. There is an unsettling nature about my work that frequently shows in the detached expressions and passivity of my characters juxtaposed against the chaos of their world. As an artist, it is my job to bring the dreamscape to reality, to touch upon the unseen fantasy world that we live in. My hope is that you will share in the journey, even if it is just as a passerby, and take a piece of the glimpses I offer with you."
