ARTIST STATEMENT
Nick Rooney is currently a 3rd year painting major at the Alberta College of Art and design. In his practice Nick works with the physical materiality of oil paint through the application of several layers to activate the surface. In the piece, Form in Exploration, thin layers of paint are added to conceal or reveal the many parts of a rocky landscape as light hits it. His work is very process based as each layer added results in the removal of paint to reveal the layers underneath.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
