Nick Offer bases his paintings on collages, assemblies of disparate imagery which he finds and sources. Aiming to find an unexpected link between figures and their environments (and/or each other) he combines and recombines these found images - often merging them with parts of other collages - until an association emerges.
As the collages form the foundations for his paintings, Nick tries to make their compositions strong enough so that if he veers from them - following new routes the paint takes - their structure remains.
His main hope is to create a unique and persuasive world in each picture. One which works according to its own logic and convinces by the strength of imagery and the paint that depicts it.
