ORIGINAL Collage on paper, paint swatches with hand printed Shakespeare text. Glasgow born artist, Nick Smith produces striking versions of iconic artworks, with the clever use of the humble Pantone swatch. Smith breathes new life into each image; highlighting the vast complexities and subtleties of tone in each historic piece, whilst making a stark commentary on the unforgiving culture of modern digitalization. He brings classic paintings into the 21st Century and makes them relevant today in his stylized pop art practice. The 'Pantone swatch works' is a simple yet ingenious method of creating famous canonised works of art, braking them down and reassembling them as pixelated, individual pantone colour sample swatches.

With a mental bookcase stuffed full of past and current visual obsessions tying Victorian illustration...
