Richard Nicole

layered complexity of emotions, essence and energy, an entanglement of conflicting ideas. Intimacy that shrouds the female form in surreal beauty. Images that strip away layers to reveal vulnerability, cruelty and pain. Images wrapped in sensuality, disguised in eroticism, bathed in texture, light, darkness and beauty. Richard Creates still images often based on his short films, engages in commissioned work, and is artistic director for Vanadis Media USA. Richards early influences are artist such as Gottfried Helnwein, David Lynch, Peter Greenaway, H R Giger, R Crumb, Nick Cave, Sarah Moon,David Hamilton, Byron, Blake,Dual Duo Jets, and many more. His work and distinct style is now an influence for others who venture to capture snapshots of life.
