 bstract painter  Nicholas Battis creates a fluid dreamscape of light and depth with iridescent pigments on a dark background. By mixing powdered pigments with diluted painting medium and by shaping the pigments with compressed air, he has been able to transfer his affinity for the spontaneity of watercolor to rigid surfaces.
Reminiscent of underwater scenes, these glowing paintings are constructed with a simple but effective compositional architecture of overlapping forms, and positive and negative space, combined to produce an effective dimensional effect.
These paintings and their fiery bursts of color offer a salute to painting, and to the perseverance of the artist and other painter colleagues who continue in this traditional medium in an art world environment more attune to technology, media and pop-culture.
