Summoning the energy and imagery of graffiti, he envelopes the usage of the spray can and this can be seen by his meticulous and intricate stencilling. Nick’s works are featured in the URBAN NATION 2018 exhibition, ‘UN-DERSTAND The Power of Art as a Social Architect’.

Nick’s works are ever-evolving pieces of art; they continue to be innovative, modern and reflective, which is why his work has become the framework for any emerging street artist.
