Nick Savides
Red Door, Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
A townhouse on West 27th Street draws attention at night, its red door seemingly glowing in the darkness. Shadows of a street sign and construction vehicles add to the urban ambiance, while the buildings surrounding the High Line serve as a backdrop. The clouds and the lone star above serve as witnesses to the quiet, nocturnal scene.


About the Artist
Nick learned to paint from his mother when he was a child, but it wasn’t until college that he decided to be a career artist. His realist images of New York City are inspired by the drama of the city–the changing light, the spontaneous magic. Nick begins his process with reference photographs from his daily life, often shooting the same scene at multiple times of the day. He brings the images back to his Brooklyn studio where he composes a scene in Photoshop, adding and subtracting elements from multiple photographs to achieve the perfect composition before beginning to paint. “As my artwork is realistic, one might be tempted to think they are copies from nature,” says the artist. “Really, they are composed–every detail is considered. It is a balance between what is seen, what is true to nature, and what can make a good painting.”
