About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Breaking Wave" by contemporary artist Nicholas Vivian is a commanding seascape that plunges viewers into the dynamic and invigorating energy of the ocean. Demonstrating mastery in his distinctive style, Vivian presents a stunning portrayal of a wave in the pivotal moment of breaking, unleashing the unbridled beauty of nature onto the canvas.
Within this captivating piece, the artist employs a vibrant palette that encapsulates the sea's inherent vitality. The frothy whites, deep blues, and subtle hints of turquoise converge harmoniously to depict the dramatic movement of the breaking wave. Vivian's dynamic approach involves precise palette knife marks directly applied to the canvas, resulting in a textured and expressive masterpiece that authentically mirrors the raw power and emotional resonance of the ocean.
The canvas pulsates with the energy and intensity of the breaking wave, creating a visual symphony that deeply resonates with the viewer. The meditative quality of this piece is heightened by the interplay of color and texture, encouraging observers to feel the rhythmic pulse of the ocean within the depths of their own soul.
Crafted with oils on canvas, this original artwork stands as a testament to Nicholas Vivian's exceptional skill and artistic vision. The piece is adorned with the artist's signature, affirming its authenticity and artistic value. "Breaking Wave" transcends the boundaries of a conventional seascape, capturing not only the physical spectacle but also the profound emotional impact of the sea's relentless power. Ready to be displayed, this artwork beckons viewers to immerse themselves in the awe and majesty of the ocean's breaking waves in an extraordinary and evocative manner.
Artist Biography:
By selecting sunlight, precipitation and vegetation as his subjects… Nick chases the colour. Nick uses classic techniques to achieve broken surfaces giving his work it’s distinctive style. Recently he has moved from painting in clear transparent acrylic glazes to using opaque impasto oil applied by knife. Employing a wealth of experience in technique and composition development he works directly to canvas with very little drawing, using a limited palette that quite naturally does not include black. Since leaving art school Nick has been a professional artist all his life and has enjoyed a wide range of disciplines including large-scale mural painting in the palaces of the Middle East. He is a full time artist painting everyday from his studio in SW London where he now focuses on his particular painting styles, selecting as his subjects the fundamental elements for our existence on this small planet. He has exhibited in numerous solo & group shows and has his work in many collections including those of celebrity and royal households.
“ I’m obsessed with colour and the physicality of paint. Colour can exercise enormous influence on the body and soul, colour tastes, colour texture, colour perfumes and colour sounds. Being at one with the natural world I try to find colours that will fit my sensation. “ “ Direct knife painting is exciting and all about creating in one live session… working wet into wet embracing accidents at every turn to create a unique concert of visual stimuli … time is up as soon as the paint starts drying.” “ I’m interested in creating a space through colour contrasts rather than simple shadows of light and dark. The resultant surface is one that seems to connect with the viewer in an almost magical manner that somehow soothers and exhilarates at the same time.” “ I don’t mind so much whether my colour corresponds exactly, as long as it looks beautiful on my canvas, as beautiful as it looks in nature “ – Van Gogh
