Nick Sheehy: A Journey of Imagination and Expression

August 04, 2023 by Arseny Vesnin in 2023, Art, Illustration, Portfolios, NFT Art, United Kingdom

Let’s discover the captivating world of Nick Sheehy, an Australian-born artist and illustrator currently residing in the artistic hub of London.

Nick started his artistic career in the wild landscapes of Tasmania, where he sculpted with bronze. But fate took him away from art for some time. However, life brings us back to our true passions, and that's what happened to Nick. Living in London, he rediscovered his love for drawing, inspired by the city's lively low-brow art, illustration, street art, and graffiti scenes.

He uses his unique artwork to explore the world of dreams, creating mysterious and sometimes semi-autobiographical scenes. His canvas serves as a platform for the eccentric characters that resonate from his childhood imagination, infusing his creations with nostalgia and amazement.

Nick's art showcases an array of subjects that depict a wide range of emotions. His portfolio reflects his limitless creativity, featuring everything from fanciful creatures to dreamy landscapes, and some find a hommage to Bosch’s bestiaries. He enjoys drawing unique fauna objects, an exploration of his imagination showcased in exhibitions, publications, and even some client projects.

As creators with distinct artistic identities who met at the esteemed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California - Trisha's passion for drawing intermingles effortlessly with Darren's fervent dedication to street art.
