Nick Walker

Born in 1969, Nick Walker is one of UK’s leading artists creating beautiful freehand work with the help of stencils. He worked in the field of advertising and also as an illustrator and tried his hands on film set designing as well. He lives in Bristol, UK and started painting in 1992. He started with the use of stencils and believes that stencils allow him to take an image from anywhere, dissect any part of life and recreate it on any surface. He usually makes an attempt to add humour to some of his paintings to give it a light hearted kind of approach.

Nick Walker’s recent work had been displayed in exhibitions like "Two Floors", Soho (London), a solo exhibition sponsored by Absolute Vodka, at Goodge Place, London, "The Underclass", asolo exhibition sponsored by Two Dogs, at the Thomas Kettle Gallery, Covent Garden, London, "Seconds in Mecca", another solo exhibition sponsored by Snapple at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and a collective exhibition, "Street Style" as well as many more. His work had been selected by the V&A for producing his designs in a postcard format for sale in the museum shop. Some of his works like Moona Lisa, THE CANS and BORN2BOMB are partly hand-sprayed and partly hand-printed. They are all unique and are signed and numbered.
