Nic Rage

Artistic approach

Nic Rage is an artist who takes us into a world of colors and reflections. By overlapping stories, tales, mythologies, dreams and personal experiences, Rage explores automatist and intuitive creation in his artistic work. Rage's pictorial exploration is evident in the choice of its materials. He mixes acrylic paint, structural mortar as well as pastel, oil paste, oil pencils rich in colors. To its materials is added a technique of application with a brush, spatula, fingers, airbrush and aerosol. Fascinated by universal symbols and their meanings, the artist uses them as anchor points to create a dreamlike and chaotic universe. Drawing from his personal unconscious, he automatically fits into the vast sphere of the collective unconscious.
