About the Item

Nicola Magrin was born in Milan in 1978. In 2004 he graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan with a thesis on Miquel Barceló. In 2008 he was selected for a three-month Artist in Residence in New York (U.S.A.) at the Harlem Studio Fellowship by MontrasioArte. Since then he has built a full and authentic artistic career, alongside significant contributions to literary illustration. A passionate traveler, Nicola Magrin knows how to transfer his experiences and emotions onto paper, filtered through his interesting inner world. Synthesis and richness of sign combine under the skillful control of the watercolour technique, in which he has achieved international fame. Over time he has forged relationships with talented writers, filmmakers, and poets who contribute to his human and artistic growth, stimulating in him the desire to take on new challenges and overcome unexplored frontiers. He also collaborates with major Italian publishers: he designed the covers of Primo Levi's works for Einaudi, and, among others, for the volumes, Le otto montagne and Senza mai arrivare in cima by Paolo Cognetti (2016 and 2018), Il silenzio by Erling Kagge (2016), and Le antiche vie, by Robert Macfarlane (2013). He is also responsible for all the covers of the Tiziano Terzani books published by TEA. His publishing experience has led him to develop a series of collaborations in which his illustrations dialogue with the texts of some of Italy's great storytellers. These include the book by Folco Terzani, Il cane, il Lupo e Dio, (Longanesi 2017); Federico Rampini, L'oceano di mezzo (Laterza 2019); EsterArmanini, Una balena va in montagna (Salani 2019) and Marco Stainer, Passi silenziosi nel bosco (Nuages Edizioni 2020). In 2021 he published his own book, text and illustrations made by Nicola Magrin, Altri Voli con le nuvole (Salani Editore).

  • 'Towards Le Scathe Cove'. Contemporary Landscape, Rural, Sea, Ocean, Beach Blue
    By Sophia Milligan
    Located in Penzance, GB
    'Towards Le Scathe Cove'. Contemporary mixed media landscape painting, Cornwall Original Artwork, Unframed _________________ January morning, heavy swell and a strong southwester, rain imminent, sheltering beneath lichen furred granite outcrops. A plein air painting from the series 'Holan ha Dor' (Meaning 'Salt and Earth in Cornish). West Cornwall is a harshly beautiful peninsula, jutting out into the wild tireless ocean, shaped and moulded by powerful salt laden Atlantic winds, and criss-crossed by ancient, tangled hedgerows. Drawn to the immediacy of moments, underpinned by enduring narratives, Sophia's fluid expressive paintings explores the flux and balance in the nature of all things: The freedom of the air and solidity of the soil; Of anchored stone and rhythmic water; Of human narratives written in the wild landscapes; In the sensual interplay of light and shadow. They capture an essence of the equilibrium between wild raw energy and serene stillness; chaos and harmony; and the enduring and the effervescent. Mixed media on watercolour paper Signed and inscribed Unframed 23 x 30cm / 9 x 12 inches __________________________ About The Artist Sophia Milligan is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist, exploring discourses on permanence & evanescence; the eternal, cyclical absolutes of birth & death; motherhood & childhood; and ancient immutable connections. With resonating ripples of intuition and instinct Sophia illuminates the presence of the ordinary, creating moments of sublime present. 'Born among the wild cliffs and tempestuous seas of west Cornwall, I grew with the intimate details in the twisting lanes and the intense changing light throughout the turbulent seasons. I formed a primordial connection with a deep instinctual sense of being part of the natural narrative, and wherever in the world I may be, this connectivity underpins my practice. Like the wind sculpted hawthorns and sensual coves of weather worn granite, I have been shaped by the powerful energy entwined in this ancient raw environment.’ ‘We are the stories of the journeys that came before. I weave into my work the tales of transitory circumstance; of struggle and survival; of forms and textures holding records of evolutionary millennia. I paint, I draw: with marks, mixtures, photography, words; the raw earth; the restless oceans; the whispered breeze. I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within, giving subtleties of existence a pause for contemplation. There is beauty in such poignant breaths. All moments are significant, every pebble of now forms the vast mountain of yesterday, and the great realm of tomorrow's possibilities'. Sophia has a 1st class honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Visual Arts and World History, and a Masters Degree in Contemporary Visual Arts. Her work is held in prestigious international private collections, and exhibitions of her interactive, immersive installation, photography and mixed media works include 'Tabula Rasa', London; 'Superlative', Plymouth; 'Transition', Newlyn; The Eden Project, Cornwall; The European Parliament, Brussels; Kew Gardens, London; and 'The Cameraless Film Festival', Chicago...

  • In between the journey
    Located in Stamford, CT
    A psychological landscape, a journey back to the age when the earth was flat. A vast world where no end has existed, a state of the utopian moment, a snapshot of the forgotten ages. In this hustling world, I sometimes get nostalgic. Which is very much portrayed in this work. It is a time of the world when human was exploring the world on foot, a snapshot of the past, a rainy yet silent evening when a tribe took rest in a tree trunk and a celebration of life taking place, looking back on the simple life...
