NICK FEDAEFF

Nick FEDAEFF (1965) is an artist born in 1965. Nick began his career as a singer, composer and Russian interpreter in 1988. He worked in the world of music for several years before undertaking multimedia art in 1996, which led him, eight years later, to produce abundant visual pieces.

Nick is prolific and passionate and he spends most of his days drawing sketches either in his atelier, based in Auckland, New Zealand, or during his trips, on pieces of paper or directly on the computer, which he later uses to make his pieces. He uses oil paint as much as he uses acrylic paint and he likes to work on all kinds of formats. Nick adapts his technique to the subject of his canvas and his canvas to the size of the studio where he makes his creations. The artist is interested in studying the Great Masters and keenly goes to exhibits. He also does not hesitate to adopt techniques dating back in time, such as the superimposition of layers of painting when working with oil paints.

Nick draws inspiration from observing pieces from the artistic world but also by witnessing life and dreams, attempting to translate characteristics of the senses, conscious or unconscious, that any living being can feel into images – such as the feelings of surprise or awe, the hallucinatory aspect of a dream or even the absurdity of life-. The artist composes stories, either by reinterpreting paintings he admires, or by creating his own narratives, populated with quixotic characters, always oscillating between dream and reality

Nick Fedaeff 1988年開始了他的歌手,作曲家和俄語翻譯的職業生涯。他在音樂界工作了幾年,然後在1996年從事多媒體藝術工作,導致他在八年後創作了豐富的視覺作品。

Nick多產且充滿激情,他大部分時間都在他位於新西蘭奧克蘭市的工作室或旅途中用紙或直接在計算機上繪製素描,後來他用這些素描來製作自己的作品。他使用的油漆與使用丙烯酸的油漆一樣多,並且他喜歡處理各種格式。 Nick將他的技術適應於畫布的主題,並將畫布適應於他創作的工作室的大小。該藝術家對研究大師很有興趣,並熱衷於展覽。他也毫不猶豫地採用了可以追溯到過去的技術,例如在使用油畫顏料時疊加繪畫層。

Nick從觀察藝術界的作品中汲取靈感,也通過見證生活和夢想,試圖將有意識或無意識的感官特徵轉化為任何生物都能感覺到的圖像,例如驚奇或敬畏的感覺,幻覺夢想的一面,甚至是生活的荒謬。藝術家通過重新詮釋他欣賞的畫作或創作自己的敘事來創作故事,這些敘事充滿了古怪的人物,總是在夢想與現實之間搖擺。
